I was hoping to find a work around last night but it was getting
late so I stopped. This morning I ran another inventory to get a list of the
mismatched slots. Once I had my list I opened the door to the library and
pulled those tapes. The NBU sun is shining in Houston again . . . for now.

Have you checked how the library reads the barcode labels?
Have you checked your barcode rules?
a) If I have barcode rules in place setup to read only the first 6
characters of the barcode label. Netbackup media manager shows 2 columns
the barcode label with 6 characters and the other with the extended (L1 ,L2
etc.)
b) If the tape library is setup to send extended barcode labels 6+
characters or "standard"
make sure that the library barcode labels
matches Netbackups media list.
vmcheckxxx -rt tld -rn 0 -rh "your media
server" -list
look at the Barcode column to see what the library send to
Netbackup.

I don’t’ suppose its possible to right click on the media with the
issue and change their locations to stand alone? I looked for a similar
command line counterpart but vmchange dosen’t seem to be up to the task.

That happens a lot to me as well and you’re right, I run
inventory again and I’m okay. But this time it’s being stubborn.
I’ve printed out a report and I’ll just pull the tapes that were manually put
in there and inventory them through the mail slots. I know there has to
be a way to “resync” but I need scratch tapes now for tonight’s backups but if
anyone knows the answer, there’s a trip to Hawaii in it for you, all expenses
paid except flight, hotel, meals and drinks. How’s that for incentive?

Sometimes I have this issue if I move tapes that are in the
library. For example Barcode 123456 is in slot 1 then I move it to slot 2
while changing media. The next time I inventory NBU complains that that
media is already in the robot in slot1. In most cases running a 2nd
inventory immediately following this clears up the issue.

My tape dude didn’t want to inventory new tapes into the library
54 at a time so he opened the door and inserted 200 tapes. When I try to
run an inventory now, I get “media ID not unique in database
(34)”. If I run a comparison, the robot inventory shows the
new tapes but the Volume Configuration does not and so I see a “Mismatch –
Yes”. But if I try to update the volume configuration, that’s when I get
the Status 34. I’ve rebooted the library but the library already knows
what’s in the library. How do I get NetBackup updated? This is a
Windows environment running NBU 6.0 MP5.
Thanks
Randy
