I wonder if your library can even keep track of duplicate volume id's. Have you
tried querying the library (one that would show what cell the tape is in) to see
if it returns both instances? If it returns only one I would guess that is the
one that is being used and the other could be removed.

or

You might remove one at a time and run a query content on each one to see what's
on the tape.

 Subject: Duplicate tape id in library







I'm somewhat new to ADSM running 3.7 on a aix platform.  I am using the
barcode on the tapes for id and when looking at the tapes I noticed two
tapes with identical bar codes.  I'm sure only one has been used in the
database, but which one.  Any way of checking to see what is on the
tape?  Would an audit of the tape give me that information?

Thanks.
