Jeff,

What is the library make and model.

Are you using different virtual libraries in the LTO3 library. If so any chance that the library number to nbu does not match those in the vm.conf

 

Or that the LTO3 library has different rules on how to present the barcodes for  the library?

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Barcode label oddity.

 

Greetings,

I just zoned a LTO3 library into an old master server (5.1, I told you it was old).  It sees everything but when I do the barcode scan of the tapes it is not doing the same thing for each type of label.  I took a line in the vm.conf file and copied it from one of my other libraries and changed the robot number.  When I scan the new library, the tapes that have a label like LT3001L3 get a media ID of LT3001 while the tapes with labels of ARF301L3 end up with a media ID of F301L3.  I've stopped and restarted the media management database and I get the expected behavior from the LT tapes but not the AR tapes.  Here is a copy of the vm.conf file. 

DEVICE_HOST = coda
SCRATCH_POOL = scratch
VERBOSE
MEDIA_ID_BARCODE_CHARS 21 8 1:2:3:4:5:6
MEDIA_ID_BARCODE_CHARS 20 8 1:2:3:4:5:6
MEDIA_ID_BARCODE_CHARS 30 8 1:2:3:4:5:6
KNOWN = coda
KNOWN = hesston

The server coda is the master.  Robots 20 and 21 both use the ARF labels when I use gen 2 tapes.

I haven't set up a new robot and pool in so long I'm guessing I've forgotten a file somewhere.  I just can't remember what else I need to change.

Thanks,

Jeff
