Configure barcode rules
Use the Barcode rules settings in the Inventory robot Advanced options to configure the rules that assign attributes to the new volumes that are added to a robot. NetBackup assigns barcodes when you select in the Media settings.
To enable barcode rule support for API robots, add an API_BARCODE_RULES entry to the vm.conf file.
Robot types are described in a different topic.
For more information about the vm.conf file, see the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume II.
