Updating the Volume Configuration for a Robot
164 NetBackup Media Manager System Administrator’s Guide for Windows
▼
To update the volume configuration for a robot
1. Perform the steps described in “Accessing the Robot Inventory Dialog” on page 153.
2. In the Inventory operation section of the Robot Inventory dialog, select Update
volume configuration.
3. For more options, click Advanced Options .... For most configurations, the default
settings work well. You should only change the settings if your configuration has
special hardware or usage requirements.
The advanced update options allow you to do the operations shown in the following
table:
4. To preview any update changes for the configuration, select Preview changes.
During a preview session, Media Manager lists any recommended changes and lets
you confirm whether to proceed with the update. This allows you to preview and
ensure that all new media have barcodes before they are added to the Media Manager
volume database.
5. To move (inject) one or more volumes in the robot’s media access port into the robotic
library before initiating the update, select Empty media access port prior to update.
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.
Review “Methods for Injecting Volumes into a Robot” on page 112 for a list of robot
types that determine when Empty media access port prior to update is available and
more information on using this function.
