Robot number (robot configuration option)
Specifies a unique, logical identification number for the robotic library. This number identifies the robotic library in displays (for example, TLD (21)) and is also used when you add media for the robot.
Robot numbers must be unique for all robots on all hosts in the configuration, regardless of the robot type or the host that controls them. For example, if you have two robots, use different robot numbers even if different hosts control them.
If you add a robot that is controlled by a remote device host, use the same robot number for that robot on all device hosts.
If the robot has its robotic control and drives on different hosts, specify the same robot number in all references to that library. That is, use the same robot number on the hosts with the drives as you do on the host that has the robotic control. A Tape Library DLT robot is one that allows separate robotic control and drive hosts.
