Injecting media for libraries with and without barcode readers

Use the NetBackup Administration Console to inject media for libraries that have barcode readers and libraries that do not have barcode readers.

To inject media for libraries with barcode readers

Insert the media into the robotic library slots or media access port.
In the NetBackup Administration Console, click Media and Device Management > Media > Robots.
Select the robotic library where you inserted the volume.
Click Actions > Inventory Robot.
In the Inventory operation section, select Update volume configuration.
If your robot has a media access port into which you placed the media, select Empty media access port before update in the Inventory operation section.
To configure advanced options, click Advanced Options.
To clear any previous display in the Results section, click Clear Results.
Click Start to start the update.
Repeat as necessary until all media are injected.

To inject media for libraries without barcode readers

Insert the media into the robotic library slots (or into the cartridge and then inject the cartridge into the robot).
In the NetBackup Administration Console, click Media and Device Management > Media.
Select the volume to be injected into the library.
Click Actions > Move.
In the Move Volumes dialog box, select or enter the robot, volume group, and slot number.
Use the First Slot Number field to enter the slot into which you placed the volume.
Click OK to move the volume.
Repeat as necessary until all media are injected.
