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:

  • The SCSI commands mode sense, mode select, or read element status (of slot, drive, transport, i/e element) may have failed.

  • A network API-controlled library inventory request may have failed.

  • The robotic daemon/process could not initialize a robotic database file.

 

  • 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).
