About the Volume Configuration Wizard

Use the Volume Configuration wizard to perform the following actions:

Add media in robots to NetBackup.

The wizard performs a robot inventory, which identifies the media in a robot (including new media in an existing robot) and adds them to NetBackup.
Add volumes for standalone drives.
Update the Enterprise Media Manager (EMM) database.

The wizard assigns each media a unique media ID in the EMM database that is used to track the media. The type of drive determines the media type; the wizard uses the default media type for the drive.

Before you configure volumes, review the limitations in the wizard help.

Before you configure volumes, ensure that you have all media that you want to use in the robot.
