Device configuration status code 31

Message: Robot number does not exist

Explanation: On a request to add or update a drive or robot in the device configuration, the robot number and the robot type specified were not associated with any configured robots on the targeted device host.

Recommended Action: Check the device configuration on the targeted device host and identify the configured robots. Every drive that is configured as a robotic drive must already have its robot configured on that device host. The shared robotic libraries that have robotic control on a remote host must have a logical robotic entry that refers to the remote host having robotic control. Add the robot to the device configuration first. Then, add the drive. Define it to be in the robot. If the robot was already configured, specify the correct robot number and robot type on the drive or the robot configuration request.
