1) How to identify howmany robots are configured under one tape library?

2) for example I have two robots like tld(0), tld(1). in tld(0) there is no scratch tapes and some tapes are all full under netbackup volume pool and some tapes are in active state.  tld(1) having scratch tapes. at the time can I move the scratch tapes from tld(1) to tld(0) ?

1) Not a NetBackup question.... NBU does not know if TLD(0) and TLD(1) are physically separate robots or partitions in the same robot.
More than one robot in one library means that your library is partitioned. You will have to check the robot management interface to see how it is partitioned and how many partitions.

2) Yes, you can move tapes between robots. You will need to eject tapes from TLD(1) and physically move them to TLD(0), followed by inventory of TLD(0).
Partitioned library have separate slots for each robot. Even separate MAP/CAP slots.
So, when you eject from TLD(1), you need to remove tapes from TLD(1) MAP and put them into the MAP slots that belongs to TLD(0).
The steps are the same for a partitioned library and physically separate robots.
