Robotic status code 218

Message: Cannot move from media access port to slot

Explanation: A robotic inject media operation returned a status indicating that an inject failure occurred.

Recommended Action:

  • See whether the robotic library has a media access port (use the robot test utility to validate). Investigate whether the administrator or operator has canceled the inject operation.

  • 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.
