Robot inventory options

The following table shows the robot inventory options when you use the NetBackup Administration Console:

Table: Robot inventory options

Option	Description
Advanced options	Advanced Options is active if Preview volume configuration changes or Update volume configuration is selected. This button opens the Advanced Robot Inventory Options dialog box, from which you can configure more options. See About configuring media name and attribute rules.
Device host	The Device host option is the host that controls the robot.
Empty media access port prior to update	The Empty media access port prior to update operation is active only for the robots that support that function. To inject volumes in the robot's media access port into the robot before you begin the update, select Empty media access port prior to update. The volumes to be injected must be in the media access port before the operation begins. If you select Empty media access port prior to update and the media access port is empty, you are not prompted to place volumes in the media access port. Note: If you use NetBackup to eject volumes from the robot, remove the volumes from the media access port before you begin an inject operation. Otherwise, if the inject port and eject port are the same, the ejected volumes may be injected back into the robotic library.
Robot	Use the Robot option to select a robot to inventory. If you selected a robot in the NetBackup Administration Console, that robot appears in this field.
Show contents	Displays the media in the selected robotic library; does not check or change the EMM database. See About showing a robot's contents.
Compare contents with volume configuration	Compares the contents of a robotic library with the contents of the EMM database but does not change the database. See About comparing a robot's contents with the volume configuration.
Preview volume configuration changes	Compares the contents of a robotic library with the contents of the EMM database. If differences exist, it is recommended to change to the NetBackup volume configuration. See About previewing volume configuration changes.
Update volume configuration	Updates the database to match the contents of the robot. If the robot contents are the same as the EMM database, no changes occur. See About updating the NetBackup volume configuration.
