Volume update prerequisites

The following are the robot prerequisites and media prerequisites for updating the volume configuration:

  • The robotic library must read barcodes.

  • Volumes in the library must have readable barcodes.

You can check the barcode capabilities of the robotic library and the volumes by comparing the robot contents with the NetBackup volume configuration.

See Comparing media in a robot with the volume configuration.

If the robotic library does not support barcodes or the volumes do not have readable barcodes, save the results of the compare operation. The results can help you determine a media ID prefix if you use the Media Settings tab of the Advanced Options dialog box to assign a prefix.
