Volume Information~E Then select the robot on
the host you wish to inventory and select
Show Robot Contents to obtain an inventory. Note
that ACS and TLM type libraries are not managed by NetBackup and you cannot

Not found in documentation as of writing. Provided as is.
i've used this command from cron for a few years in nbu 3.4 to 5.1:
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmupdate -rn 0 -rt tld -rh akcux02
where tld is the library name abd akcux02 is the host name.
You can up/down drives as well with:
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmoprcmd -up 0
where 0 is the drive number
