My robotic arm is not functioning.What will happen in this case?

Quick Look Solution

Not necessary. You need to

Not necessary. You need to verify this using tape library diagnostic tools, NBU just sends SCSI commands to control library, if it can't execute command NBU marks the resource as down. Why this happens is another question - related to driver/os/cables/zoning/tape/robot or even something else.

Without the autoloader (arm)

Without the autoloader (arm) how are you going to move the tapes from the slot to the drive and vice

versa. Once the arm is down the drives will be down and so will be your library.
