Netbackup 5.0MP7 Solaris 9 master.

I've realised Netbackup is using the last 6 chars of a barcode to 
generate media id's rather than the first 6 which i'd prefer.

I know i can alter this for media introduced into the unit with

MEDIA_ID_BARCODE_CHARS = 0 8 1:2:3:4:5:6  in vm.conf,

BUT if i do that a media which is assigned to say Weekly_Full will then 
become scratch as Netbackup will think of it as a completely new media 
won't it?

e.g

Barcode BK0001L2
Current Media ID = 0001L2

vmquery -m 0001L2 shows media information
vmquery -m BK0001L2 shows not present in database.

If i take the tape out and add the vm.conf entry what will happen?

Therefore is there a way to tell Netbackup change the media id you know 
from 0001L2 to BK0001L2 ??

Cheers
