Media Manager status code 12

Message: invalid robot type

Explanation: A requested operation encountered a case where a specified robot type or a volume's robot type is different. It differs from the type of robot that is required to perform the operation in the current configuration.

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.

  • Specify a robot type that supports the volume's media type.

  • Check the EMM database and ensure that the specified robot type agrees with the type for all volumes having the specified robot number.

  • If a robot type is required for the requested operation, ensure that a robot type has been specified.
