Device configuration status code 17

Message: This robot type does not support multiple media types

Explanation: An attempt to add or update a robotic drive failed because the drives in this robotic library are configured with a different drive type. (Some NetBackup robotic library types do not support multiple media types.)

See the NetBackup Release Notes or the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume II, for more information about the NetBackup robotic library types that support multimedia.

Recommended Action:

  • Configure all of the drives for this robotic library with the same drive type.

  • If you use the NetBackup Server and want a robotic library with multiple media types, contact Cohesity to purchase the NetBackup Enterprise Server.
