We will be getting an expansion cabinet to our scaler 2000 soon. At the moment we have LTO-2 drives and tapes. When we add the expansion cabinet we are also going to add 2 LTO-3 drives with a set of

Use barcode rules and media types. LTO2 media can be hcart2 and LTO3 can be hcart3 (I think hcart stands for Half-Inch Cartridge.) NBU will never put a hcart2 tape into an hcart3 tape device. TO NBU

Do you have a mulyiple partition license for the I2k? We have a 16 partition license on ours. So far we only have the 14 LTO2 and 800 slots. Once I can convince the powers that be in the money side o

If you do this you need to take part of your six digit barcode range and dedicate it to the particular media type. It's sad that Netbackup doesn't support proper regexps in the barcode rules so that
You can't change the bar code rules like that in mid stream. It would change the media id of every tape already in the library and put every existing tape in scratch. You are going to either have to
Two ways...buy the partitioning license for your i2K and have a separate logical library for LTO2's and LTO3's Or you can do it based on media type. HCART2 Media (LTO2) HCART3 Media (LTO3) HCART2 Sto

No - changing the media id generation rule (MEDIA_ID_BARCODE_CHARS in vm.conf) affects the media id. Changing the barcode rules (potentially) changes the media type and volume pool. Existing tapes wo
But if the bar code rule changes, how does NetBackup know that it is not a new tape? If you have 25 tapes sitting in offsite storage that NB read as ABC001-025, you pull them back for a restore, NetB
