Are all of the slots in your VLS filled with tapes?
I know with one of the old ATL libraries, if you manually removed a tape and
didn't "press" it in first to have it spring eject, it thought a tape still
lived in the slot and subsequently failed with a similar error.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] initialize_element_status failed (202 error?)
Hello all:
I have NetBackup 3.4.1GA installed on a Sun Ultra 2 running Solaris 8. This
system has worked for some time with an ATL L200 DLT4000 library attached.
Running low on capacity, I recently connected an ADIC VLS DLT2000 library.
The library is properly connected and addressed by the system as far as I
can see (probe-scsi shows it where it's supposed to be, not conflicting,
etc). The library will set up in NetBackup just fine, but if I try to
inventory it we get the following:
robot inventory failed: Unable to sense robotic device (202)
Furthermore, on boot, when the Media Manager daemons start, I get:
TLD(1) key = 0x5, asc = 0x24, ascq = 0x0, INVALID FIELD IN CDB
TLD(1) transport read_element_status error, CHECK CONDITION
TLD(1) unavailable: initialization failed: Unable to sense robotic device
In an attempt to troubleshoot this I played around with robtest...
Everything in robtest works (rezero, move media around, etc), except "init"
-- if I use the "init" command, I get:
Initiating INITIALIZE_ELEMENT_STATUS
Initialize_element_status failed, CHECK CONDITION
Sense key = 0x5, asc = 0x24, ascq = 0x0, INVALID FIELD IN CDB
(noticing a pattern here, are we? :-) )
I've looked at this to the extent of my ability, and wondering if anyone
else has a suggestion that might get this library up and going.
Thanks!
Dan
