Injecting volumes

You can inject volumes into the robots that contain media access ports.

Any volumes to be injected must be in the media access port before the operation begins. If no volumes are in the port, you are not prompted to place volumes in the media access port and the update operation continues.

Each volume in the MAP is moved into the robotic library. If the MAP contains multiple volumes, they are moved to empty slots in the robotic library until the media access port is empty or all the slots are full.

After the volume or volumes are moved, NetBackup updates the volume configuration.

Some robots report only that media access ports are possible. Therefore, Empty media access port prior to update may be available for some robots that do not contain media access ports.

Inject volumes into the robots that contain media access ports

  1. Load the volumes in the MAP.

  2. Inventory the robot

    See Updating the volume configuration with a robot's contents.

  3. Select Empty media access port prior to update on the Robot Inventory dialog box.
