Hello Scott

Which admin client are you using the remote clients? That is are you using a 
java client running on the remove client or  a windows mfc client or a java 
client running on the master?  what software version/release level?

I remember a problem with the windows mfc client in that it really thought that 
it was running on a master so it would use the barcode rules stored on itself.
So if you wanted to make a change to the barcode rules, one had to make sure 
that a copy of it was stored on the master and all the machines used for the 
mfc clientl

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Media id generation rules



At a remote site when the our local staff introduces new tape volumes
into the robot the media id generated is not what is expected.  When I
do the robot inventory from the master server the media id generation
rules are set and the media id created is what is expected.    We are
running 6.5.2.a on all machines.
Master/media server is solaris 9 the media server is solaris 9.  the
admin consoles are running on xp workstations.

We expect the volume with a barcode of NJ0001S to generate a media id of
NJ0001.
Without the media id generation rules being set the generated media id
is J0001S on the remote machines running the admin console.


Is there a way to force the media id generation rules out from the
master?
Do we have to set the same rule on every machine that requests a robot
inventory?
