Updating the Volume Configuration for a Robot
176 NetBackup Media Manager System Administrator’s Guide for Windows
The fourth barcode rule in the table shows Media Manager’s ability to add cleaning
cartridges with regular volumes when you execute an update for a robotic library.
If the volumes that you insert include a cleaning tape, Media Manager adds the
volumes correctly. This happens if the following are all true:
◆
The media type on the Media Settings tab is for regular media (DLT, in this
example).
◆
The barcode matches a barcode tag.
◆
The media type for the barcode rule is cleaning media (DLT_CLN).
Also see “Example 5: Adding Cleaning Tapes to a Robot” on page 202.
The sixth and seventh rules in the table illustrate how to add only a cleaning tape. In
the sixth rule, you specify the cleaning media type on the Media Settings tab and in
the barcode rule. In the seventh rule, you specify the cleaning media on the Media
Settings
tab and choose default when you configure the barcode rule.

Use this property to specify the volume pool to which you want to assign the new media.
