TLD(0) going to DOWN state, status: Unable to sense robotic device

Team,

Need your help on below.

 

I recently upgraded my NBU from 6.5 to 6.5.6 to fix the error "nbemm stopping"

After that, the master server cannot detect my TLD 0 device. See more information on below.

 

after running dmesg

TLD(0) drive read_element_status error

TLD(0) key = 0x2, asc = 0x4, ascq = 0x3, LOGICAL UNIT NOT READY, MANUAL INTERVENTION REQUIRED

TLD(0) going to DOWN state, status: Unable to sense robotic device

after running robtest

 

 

MODE_SENSE complete
Enter tld commands (? returns help information)
init
Initiating INITIALIZE_ELEMENT_STATUS
initialize_element_status failed
sense key = 0x2, asc = 0x4, ascq = 0x3, LOGICAL UNIT NOT READY, MANUAL INTERVENTION REQUIRED
 
after running /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/scan

    The error is not related to NBU upgrade/patch.

    This error is coming from the robot, not NBU:

    TLD(0) key = 0x2, asc = 0x4, ascq = 0x3, LOGICAL UNIT NOT READY, MANUAL INTERVENTION REQUIRED

    Start by physically inspecting the robot - check for robot door or CAP not properly closed.
    Try to powercycle the robot.

    If the above does not help, log a call with your hardware support team.

    Scan command shows the sl8500 maybe the needs an update run: vmoprcmd -devconfig -l and check if path is thr same as: "/dev/sg/c0tw2103001b32653b82l0"

    No, no update required.
     
     
    MODE_SENSE complete
    Enter tld commands (? returns help information)
    init
    Initiating INITIALIZE_ELEMENT_STATUS

    sense key = 0x2, asc = 0x4, ascq = 0x3, LOGICAL UNIT NOT READY, MANUAL INTERVENTION REQUIRED
     
    robtest connected we see the mode_sense complete.  Therefore the path is correct.  Providing this happens, evertything else that happens, is outside NetBackup.
     
    We see an ASC// ASCQ error - as explained in  http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH169477
    it can be seen the asc /ascq errors are sent from the hardware.  
     
    Additionally, robtest is not really a NetBackup command.  Like scan, it just send scsi commands to the library.  The only 'interaction' with NBU is that fact that in the config the device file must be correct (so that rtobtest can get to the library).  All output seen in robtest when you run commands (eg. s s (show slots)) is SENT from the library - if it is wrong, then it is a library issue.
     
     
    As Marianne has explained, this issue is related to a problem with the library.  Any 'investoigation' in NBU is a waste of time.

    Hi All

    I agree with Marianne is this not related to NBU.Kindly check on Harware level.

    I just want to add one more thing to check physically.

    Check if any Media is stucked in Robotic unit if Yes remove it from Robotic unit and try to do robtest again.

    May be it will helpful.

    Thanks

    Thanks guys for your replies!!

     

    After I restart the tape library, the drive is now detected but the robot was not sensed at all.

     

    I even tried to eject tapes but it cannot be ejected.

    Hi all,

    This issue will come due to Bad Media are stuck in Robotic arm,Try to eject Bad Medias from library.

    May be this erro will not come in Future..

    hello,

     

    so I contacted the vendor and was able to fix the SL500. However, I cannot seem to fix this one.

    How to update the drive manually? I used the Config wizard but still the drive indicates DOWN status.
     
    also, look at the dmesg info,

    maybe it needs to update some drive but I don't know how to. only been handling NBU for 6 months

     

    thanks!
