The following is an example of how to add a stand-alone volume that has a bar code to a robotic library that supports bar codes (TL8).

When you move volumes from one robot to another robot, perform separate updates.

The following are the volume attributes for media ID 800021, which has a readable bar code and already exists as a stand-alone volume:

Assume that you insert the volume into a TL8 robot, specify the following on the Media Settings tab, then run the update:

Assume that the bar code rules in Table: Example bar code rules exist:

NetBackup recognizes that the media ID exists and changes the EMM database to reflect the new robotic location. NetBackup does not create a new media ID.

The volume attributes for media ID 800021 are as follows:

The bar code matches the bar code of an existing stand-alone volume in the configuration. Therefore, NetBackup updates the residence information in the EMM database to reflect the new robotic location. Because the volume is not new, bar code rules are ignored.

The only setting used on the Media Settings tab is the volume group for added or moved volumes. The media type setting was not used because this example was for a single existing volume that already had a media type.
