Hi,
I think I have a problem.
I am getting repeated instances of:
duplicate name; pick new name or delete old one
For freshly recycled and relabeled volumes.
Should not be getting this for barcode managed media in an L700.
If I have a Pool of volumes that expire, when we relabel them
and then mark them as recyclable, usually the volume gets reused
successfully. Or if the volume doesn't need relabling and just expires
and is then marked recyclable.
But lately, I am getting a spiral of doom situation where Legato
will select a free volume for use in a backup and then
after checking its label will print the dreaded:
duplicate name; pick new name or delete old one
And then it will proceed to grab the next free volume which
will possibly have the same issue. And so, if I am asleep,
in the middle of the night, the magical Legato spiral of doom
will manifest and the system will continuously load and unload
volumes forever, printing the dread mantra:
duplicate name; pick new name or delete old one
instead of doing real work (ie backing stuff up),
until I intervene, run "nsrmm -yd <volid>" on the offending tapes
and then manually relabel them.
This is an onerous task, given we have thousands of volumes
and I want a solution!
Why does this happen with barcoded media? They are supposed to be
unique ID's and relabeling or recycling a volume should "just work".
Comments, suggestions, etc please....
