Media Manager status code 37

Message: robotic volume position is already in use

Explanation: A robotic coordinate in an added or a changed volume entry in the EMM database duplicated a volume robotic coordinate in the database. (The robotic coordinate includes the slot number or the slot number and platter side.) All volumes in the EMM database must have unique robotic coordinates.

Recommended Action:

  • Examine the command output (if available) and the daemon and reqlib debug 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.

  • Query or sort volume records by slot number to identify the volume entry with the duplicate robotic coordinate.

  • Change (update or move volume) or delete the existing volume entry if it does not reflect the following: the correct robotic coordinate corresponding to the volume's storage position in the robotic library. If a volume is currently in a drive, the EMM database should still reflect the volume's home slot.
