Hi,
2 Questions actually…
Question #1
When I enter media in to my load ports on my robot, it remains there until I go in Netbackup and tell the robot to run an inventory with the “Empty media access port prior to update” checkbox checked. It then, after tell it to update the volume configuration, moves the media from the load port in to actual library slots.
I was hoping there was a way in Netbackup 6.0 MP4 to automate this process, so when I put media back in the robot, Netbackup would automatically move it in to a regular robot slot and out of the load ports.
I believe there is a way within Netbackup to do this, because it did it just fine when we were running Netbackup 5.1 MP6. Ever since we upgraded it no longer does this step for me. I am curious if I missed a step in my set up.
Question #2
I have one media server with 2 attached robots. Each robot has a different media density. (One is LTO2 and the other robot has LTO3). During daily backups, I put each density in to one volume pool named “offsite_tapes”. I then try to vault these tapes, but Netbackup only vaults one density in one robot and ignores the other robot, leaving all the LTO2 tapes in the robot and they do not show up on the media ejection report. They are also left in the old media pool “offsite_tapes” and not moved to the new pool with the other density. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

AUTO_UPDATE_ROBOT
If this entry is specified in the vm.conf file of the media server with a TL8 or TLD robotic control daemon, the Media Access Port (MAP) of the robot will be emptied into the robotic library and the volume database will be updated.
This entry only operates with TL8 or TLD robots that post a unit attention when their MAP has been opened. Since most robotic libraries with multiple partitions do not post a unit attention when the MAP has been accessed, using this entry is not recommended with partitioned libraries.
