L280 doesn't read barcodes.  You need to add them into the database manually
via vmadm.

  I've got an issue with expired tapes that arent showing up as available to
be used for backup.

  Here is an example.

  I have a tape A00008 sitting in slot 6 of a Sun L280 tape robot, It
doesn't understand barcodes.


   bpmedialist -m A00008
requested media id was not found in NB media database and/or MM volume 
database

   vmquery -m A00008
============================================================================
====
media ID:              A00008
media type:            DLT cartridge tape (11)
barcode:               --------
media description:     Added by Media Manager
volume pool:           NetBackup (1)
robot type:            TLD - Tape Library DLT (8)
robot number:          0

============================================================================

   The available_media command shows the tape as available

NetBackup pool

A00024  DLT      NONE     -       -      -       1     36228160 ACTIVE
A00002  DLT      NONE     -       -      -       -     -        AVAILABLE
A00003  DLT      TLD      0       3      -       -     -        AVAILABLE
A00006  DLT      NONE     -       -      -       -     -        AVAILABLE
A00008  DLT      TLD      0       6      -       -     -        AVAILABLE

  Why won't Netbackup see this tape and use it?

  Probably something simple but I can't seem to get it to work. I've 
searched the archives for anything useful on this but can find nothing.

  Can someone help me out or point me to where I can find out how to make 
this, and other tapes sitting the robot now available and let Netbackup 
use it?
