Previewing volume configuration changes for a robot

Use the procedure in this topic to preview any volume configuration changes for a robot.

To preview the volume configuration changes for a robot

If necessary, add new volumes into the robotic library.
In the NetBackup web UI, click Storage > Tape storage > Robots.
Select the robot you want to inventory.
On the Actions menu, select Inventory Robot.
On the Inventory operations, select Preview volume configuration changes.
Note:
If you preview the configuration changes first and then update the EMM database, the update results may not match the results of the preview operation. Possible causes may be the changes that occur between the preview and the update. Changes can be to the state of the robot, to the EMM database, to the barcode rules, and so on.
To change the default settings and rules that NetBackup uses to name and assign attributes to new media, click Advanced options.
Note:
Advanced options apply to only preview and update volume configuration and hence enabled only when you select these operation options.
To inject any media that is in the media access port before the preview operation, click Empty media access port prior to update.
Click Start to begin the inventory preview.
