Hi,
I'm looking for command lines to verify my robots integrity (drives and robotic arm).
Thanks

but you could use the "functionality" of robtest.
***EDIT***
Robtest commands that can be used to test the SCSI functionality of a robot

the robtest command should be able to help you with this one.

In my /var/adm/messages file I'm receiving a lot of "unable to sense devices"
Please tell me what does it mean and how can I test drives to prevent this to occur.
Thanks

Have you tried power cycling the library &/or the server to which it is attached?
Stop/start NB services?
Checked physical connections? (loose cables etc)
I presume it is resulting in failed jobs?

An element of the robotic library device could not be sensed. The cause could be any of the following:
Check the configuration of the robot against the recommended configuration as indicated in the documentation for robot configuration.
Check the health of the robotic device by using a robot test utility, 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).
