Re: [Veritas-bu] Media ID / Barcode rules

This is because your old library was giving you only the first 6 characters of the barcode. All new libraries gives you all 8 barcode characters . To change this, go to your library GUI and logon as administrator.

Go to configuration -> system and change the value of “Barcode Label Length Reported To Host from 8 to 6.

Be sure that “Barcode Label Alignment Reported To Host” is left.

If you do not want to change the library, you have to configure media ID generation and not the barcode rules. But you have to import all tapes with hand and right click them and select update barcode.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Media ID / Barcode rules

Our environment, NBU 6.5.4 running on HP-UX 11-31 with a Data Domain VTL and newly attached MSL6060 tape library that replaced a SureStore 20/700 library. I don’t think we had any barcode rules set up for anything but cleaning cartridges when we were using the 20/700 library. The physical barcodes on the tapes are for example 000001L1 and the last 2 characters were dropped leaving 000001 as the Media ID and Barcode. Now that the MSL6060 library is connected when I do an inventory it gives me 0001L1 for a Media ID and 000001L1 for a Barcode. I’m going through the manual and getting confused on how to accomplish dropping the last 2 characters (L1) and using only the first 6 (000001) for both Media ID and Barcode. Can anyone let me know or at least point me in the right direction to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance…
