Robotic status code 202

Message: Unable to sense robotic device

Explanation:

An element of the robotic library device cannot be sensed. The cause can be any of the following:

  • The SCSI commands mode sense, mode select, or read element status (of slot, drive, transport, i/e element) may have failed.

  • A network API-controlled library inventory request may have failed.

  • The robotic daemon/process cannot initialize a robotic database file.

Recommended Action:

  • Check the configuration of the robot against the recommended configuration as indicated in the robot configuration documentation.

  • Check the health of the robotic device by using a robot test utility and then close the test utility when finished.

  • Check for the existence and permissions of the temporary robotic database and the temporary database directory/folder, which is /usr/openv/volmgr/misc/robotic_db (UNIX and Linux) or install_path\Volmgr\misc\robotic_db (Windows). Create the directory/folder and adjust the permissions as needed so that the robotic daemon/process can create it or use it. Stop and restart ltid (the device daemon on UNIX and Linux or the NetBackup Device Manager service on Windows).
