Robotic tests on Windows

If the robot has been configured (that is, added to NBDB), start the robotic test utility by using the robtest command. This action saves time, since robotic and drive device paths are passed to the test utility automatically.

To use the robtest command, do the following (in the order presented):

  • Execute the following command:

        install_path\Volmgr\bin\robtest.exe

    The test utility menu appears.

  • Select a robot and press Enter.

    The test starts.

Note:

If the robot is not configured, you cannot use robtest. You must execute the command that applies to the robot you want to test (see following list).

ACS

install_path\Volmgr\bin\acstest -r ACSLS_HOST

TLD

install_path\Volmgr\bin\tldtest -r roboticpath

More information on ACS robotic control is available.

See the NetBackup Device Configuration Guide.

In the previous list of commands, roboticpath is the full path to the device file for the robotic control (SCSI). You can review the section for your platform to find the appropriate value for roboticpath.

An optional parameter specifies the device file path for the drives so that this utility can unload the drives using the SCSI interface.

Usage is:

install_path <-p port -b bus -t target -l lan | -r 
roboticpath>

where: roboticpath is the changer name (e.g., Changer0).
