Robotic status code 221

Message: Media access port already contains media

Explanation: A robotic eject media operation returned a status indicating that the media access port contains one or more cartridges. The operator or administrator may not have removed the media from the media access port as part of the latest (or a previous) eject operation.

Recommended Action:

  • Examine the command output, debug logs, and system logs for a more detailed message on the error.

  • Coordinate inject/eject operations between all operators and administrators. Ensure that the media access port is empty of media before an eject operation.
