About NetBackup actions for barcodes

When a robot inventory update operation uses NetBackup barcode rules and a new barcode is detected in the robot, NetBackup does the following:

  • Searches the list of rules (from first to last) for a rule that matches the new barcode.

  • If the barcode matches a rule, NetBackup verifies that the media type in the rule is compatible with the media type specified for the update.

  • If the media types match, NetBackup assigns the attributes in the rule to the volume. The attributes include the media type, volume pool, maximum number of mounts (or number of cleanings), and description.
