On the robot controlled host you can use (use this only when the silo is=20
not busy)

/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/robtest

Select the robot.

m s(slot number) d(drive number)
e.g=20

m s124 d1

To move it back to the slot

unload d(drive number)
e.g.

unload d1

m d(drive number) s(slot number)
.e.g.

m d1 s124

Make sure you exit out of robtest after you are done.

Good luck

Fuad Khalid
