Okay,

  I just traded my Dell Powervault 128t to our test lab for a Storagetek
L40.  I have one big problem. The 128t could read all 8 digits of the
barcode.  I used barcode rules to specify using the first 6 digits.  The L40
seems to only be able to read the first 6 digits (this is why I used the
rules with the 128t.  I thought this would give me cross compatibility)
Unfortunately, now the system sees the barcode NN1234L1 as NN1234.  The
rules keep the tape ID correct but Netbackup tries to add them as new tapes
since the barcode does not match exactly.  I can deal with that problem from
the aspect of new tapes but what can I do about all the tapes I already have
data on?

 

The only thing I have come up with that would work fairly well is to expire
ALL of my tapes then import them all (ack!)

 

Thanks
