Robotic Test Utilities C
Each of the robotic software packages includes a robotic test utility for communicating
directly with robotic peripherals. The tests are for diagnostic purposes and the only
documentation is the online help that you can view by entering a question mark (?) after
starting the utility. Specify -h to display the usage message.
Note Do not use the robotic test utilities when backups or restores are active. The tests
lock the robotic control path and prevent the corresponding robotic software from
performing actions, such as loading and unloading media. If a mount is requested,
the corresponding robotic process times out and goes to the DOWN state. This
usually results in a media mount timeout. Also, be certain to quit the utility when
your testing is complete.
If the robot has been configured (that is, added to the Media Manager device database),
start the robotic test utility by using the robtest command. This saves time, since robotic
and drive device paths are passed to the test utility automatically. The procedure is as
follows:
1. Execute the following command:
install_path\Volmgr\bin\robtest.exe
The test utility menu appears.
2. Select a robot and press Enter.
The test starts.
Note If the robot is not configured, you cannot use robtest and must execute the
command that applies to the robot you are testing (see below). However, in the case
of an RSM robot, the robot must be configured under NetBackup before a test can be
run. When the RSM robot has been configured, use the robtest command as
described above.
