Hi, I'm new here and I didn't find this issue posted anywhere.
For more than a week, I've been having a problem with Networker 7.3.2 on a
Windows 2003 SP2 server with an attached HP MSL 6000 LTO3 tape library.
My Networker has gotten confused. When I look at the list of tapes in
Networker, many of the volume names don't match the tapes' barcodes. Some
volume names are even repeated. For example, a listing will list out like this:
Tape 1, volume name 2021, barcode 2132
Tape 2, volume name 2022, barcode 2022
Tape 3, volume name <unlabeled>, barcode 2132
etc.
When I inventory the tape, sometimes it corrects itself. It'll usually say
something along the line of, "expecting tape 2021, found tape 2132." Sometimes
I have to delete the tape out of the library and relabel it, then the volume
name and barcode match again.
Sometimes when I inventory a tape that is listed correctly, Networker will not
find the tape when it looks for it.
I spent 4 hours yesterday getting most of this corrected in Networker, then
this morning when I opened networker, it had reset all the problem volume names
back.
I have tried reinventorying the entire library, tried nsrck -L5, nsrck -m,
nsrck -X, and nsrim -X. I didn't find anything interesting in the media or
message logs.
This issue appeared at approximately the same time I added an additional tape
drive to the library. When I added the drive, I deleted out all the previous
drives in Networker, then had Networker refind the drives and configure them.
It did not indicate any problems when reconfiguring the drives.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help.
