Media Manager status code 79

Message: specified robot is unknown to vmd

Explanation: A request was made to query volumes by residence. No volumes were found in the targeted volume configuration that matched the provided robot number, robot type, and robot host.

Recommended Action:

  • Examine the command output, debug logs, and system logs for a more detailed message on the error.

    See "Setting Media Manager debug logging to a higher level" in the NetBackup Logging Reference Guide.

  • Ensure that the volumes are properly configured in the EMM database. Use the tpconfig -d command to list the configured EMM server. Select the current server (the one being administered) to be the same as the host, which is the correct EMM server. Perform the following so the volume residence query can find a matching volume: update the volume or the device configurations, modify the volume properties, or adjust the search criteria as needed.
