Seems you are trying to run diagnostics?
What is the purpose of these tests?
In all honesty, in my 13 years with NBU I have never needed or tried to run NBU level diagnostics.
From what I can see the robot and tape drive has been configured in NBU.
Have you completed rest of config? (Storage Unit and Media)
Have you tried to select the Storage Unit and volume pool in a backup policy and tested a backup?
If you really want to run diagnostics, you may want to read up in Admin Guide I on these topics:
Running a robot diagnostic test
Running a tape drive diagnostic test
Just reading this section in the manual, it seems that a test tape is needed. The manual is not clear on what type of test media is required. My gut-feel is that the library's diagnostic tape will be requested. Does your library have such a special slot for diagnostic tape?
Status Code Guide says the following about error 182:
Media Manager status code 182
Message: device test state file does not exist
Explanation: The state file does not exist. The reason may be because no tests
have been run yet.
RecommendedAction: If the state file is lost, any previous test runs are also lost.
The recommended action is to start again.
