Robot inventory is a
logical operation that verifies the presence of media. (Robot
inventory does not inventory the data on the media.)
After you physically add,
remove, or move volumes in a robot, use a robot inventory to update
the NetBackup volume configuration.
Table: Robot inventory options
describes the NetBackup Administration Console robot inventory
options for the robotic libraries that contain barcode readers and
contain barcoded media.

Description

|
|
Displays the media in the selected robotic library; does not
check or change the EMM database.
For the robotic libraries
without bar code readers (or that contain media without bar codes),
you can only show the contents of a robot. However, more detailed
information is required to perform automated media management. Use
the vmphyinv physical inventory
utility to inventory such robots.
See About the physical
inventory utility.

Updates the database to match the contents of the robot. If the
robot contents are the same as the EMM database, no changes
occur.
