Why dont you check out 
 
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/media/errors
 
from there you should be able to see whether the same media is causing
you issues,
 
you could also grab info from the messages files.

Mostly media read (85) and write (84) and an occasional media position
(86) error.  I suspect I  have a drive going but would like to see if
the same tapes are involved also.

Not sure myself unless "tldtest" has a switch for reading the barcode
(doubt it though) , can you not extract info form your messages file.

 

What kind of problems are you trying to resolve??

 

Regards

 

Dave

Our environment is HP-UX 11.11, Netbackup 5.1 MP3 backing up mostly HP
unix with some Sun and Windows backups. I know this has come up before
but couldn't find anything in the archives.  I'm looking for a command
line way to determine the bar code of a tape when it's in a drive.  I'm
trying to gather info to determine if certain tapes are causing
problems.

Thanks in advance.
