Robotic status code 208

Message: Requested slot is empty

Explanation: No media was found in a specified slot. The volume configuration may not be consistent with the physical contents of the robotic library that is associated with the volume.

Recommended Action: Install or realign the container/holder for the media if it is misplaced or misaligned. Place media right-side-up in the slot if the media is upside-down. Check to see if the requested slot is reserved to the robotic library for internal use. Physically correct issues within the robotic library, or use a media management interface to correct the volume configuration.
