In my job I'm using Veritas NetBackup 4.5. Is there any way to issue a
command to see idle slots in Sun StorEdge L100 robot ?

What do you mean by "idle slot"?

try this

# vmcheckxxx
Usage: vmcheckxxx -rt robot_type -rn robot_number
[-rh robot_control_host] [-h volume_database_host]
[[-if inventory_filter_value] [-if inventory_filter_value] ...]
[-full] [-list]
# which vmcheckxxx
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmcheckxxx

Idle slot is a slot without SDLT inside it. Everyday I need put new SDLT
cartridges in this robot. It contains 6 SDLT drives. When robot is making
backups, 6 cartridges are mounted in the 6 drives, and I don' know which
slots can I put new cartridges, because 6 slots are idle but allocated by the
6 cartridges inside the 6 drives.

NB doesn't vacate a slot in a robot when the tape is mounted. So displaying
a robot's inventory with the GUI or from the command line with vmcheckxxx
will show you all slots, empty or not.

Thanks to all - vmcheckxxx -rt robot_type -rn robot_number command
solved my doubt.
