Media Manager status code 81

Message: robot type and volume group mismatch

Explanation: A request was made to add volumes or change volume residences in the volume configuration. The robot type and volume group that is associated with the volume configuration changes are in conflict with the requirements for volume groups. All volumes in a volume group are required to have the same residence, which includes having the same robot type. A requested operation may have tried to associate the special No Volume Group name "---" with a robotic residence.

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 specified robot residence and the volume group are compatible with other volumes in the volume configuration that are in the specified volume group. Do not move volumes in the special No Volume Group name to a robotic residence without moving them to a new or auto-generated volume group. Choose a different volume group on the request, or let the volume group be automatically selected. The volume group selection depends on the specific interface being used.
