Re: [Veritas-bu] HP ESL G3 Tape Library Barcode Issues
2013-11-05 11:22:09
I came across the same problem a few years ago. I drove me crazy until I discovered NetBackup will reference the tape by the label that is committed to the tape header. No matter what the labeling rules are, what written to the header rules. After changing the rules I had to do a full erase of the tape to correct the problem. I recommend that you use the first 6 numbers of the tape instead of the last six. Using the last six you will eventually encounter duplicate tape numbers, if the last two numbers are the tape drive version (i.e. L2, L3, L4, L5, L6….).

To set the barcode length, use the Up and Down buttons to select Barcode Length and press Select. Next, use the Up and Down buttons to display the appropriate number (from 1 to 9, or back to 0), then press Select. Default barcode length is 0, which means that a barcode of any length will be accepted. Mit freundlichen Grüßen/With kind regards Roland Kastner Ronald Do you know how to on this G3 ESL, because I have gone through the Manual and I cannot see anything about it, and HP is saying it is a NetBackup issue, but I keep stating it is not :(
Hi Simon, you can change the Barcode reading direction on the GUI of the ESL tape Library (left to right) Mit freundlichen Grüßen/With kind regards Roland Kastner Matthew I do not have anything like this in VM.conf I have existing Tape Libraries, that are reading the last 6 digits of the Barcode just fine. If I create a Media ID Generation Rule, then this means I am trying to move away from the default behaviour of NetBackup? I want to read W995L5 - But I am SSW995 in the Media ID and Barcode Colums under Media and Device Management, then under Robots and under Robot TLD(1) Simon
Documented here: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH10824 Hi All Can someone advise on this? I have implemented an HP G3 ESL Library under NBU 7.5 - However, I have a problem. When doing the Inventory, it is showing the Media ID as the first 6 characters of the Barcode, rather than the last 6 characters of the Barcode. For example, what I expect to see is W955L5, but what I am seeing is SSW995 being imported! Any ideas as HP is telling me it is a NBU issue, but I was under the impression that by design, NetBackup imports the last 6 characters of the barcode.
