Re: [Networker] Networker tape library - tapes showing as unlabelled??

Hello,
Seen this with Netapp VTL, eventually, resolved with upgrading firmware 
and occasionally resetting VTL via nsrjb ( problem is now resolved 
completely), however, you mentioned that the old lib was deleted and then 
you saw this issue ? is that correct, did it happen only one time ?
Thanks

Re: Networker tape library - tapes showing as unlabelled??






This sounds like a configuration error -- drives or slots being out of 
order -- rather than a tape that just appears as <unlabeled>.  I've 
never experienced that problem -- and I'd be really upset with EMC if 
some critical tape suddenly had the wrong label on it.

399, the media with barcode 399 got volume name 406. The media in slot 406 
then got "unlabeled".
