When Performing a Volume Configuration Update Using Robot
Inventory
When performing a volume configuration update for a robot, select Empty media access
port prior to update
to inject a volume into a robot.
Any volumes to be injected must be in the media access port before the operation begins.
If Empty media access port prior to update is selected and there are no volumes in the
port, you are not prompted to place volumes in the media access port and the update
operation continues.
Each volume located in the media access port is moved into the robotic library. If the
robotic library has a port that can hold multiple volumes, volumes are moved to empty
slots in the robotic library until the media access port is empty or all the slots are full.
After the volume or volumes have been moved, the configuration update proceeds as
usual.
Empty media access port prior to update
is available only for the robot types listed in the
matrix shown in “Inject and Eject Functions Available by Robot Type” on page 115.
Empty media access port prior to update may be available for some robots that do not
have media access ports, since these robot types only indicate that media access ports are
possible.
See “Updating the Volume Configuration for a Robot” on page 160 for complete
instructions.

access port.

will appear for each robot type.
