Greetings,
It looks like when the tapes were first loaded in, the proper barcode rule for
that library was not in place. The LT tapes did what I wanted but the ARF
ones did not. Bob reminded me that I could delete the tapes now that I
had the rule in place. I deleted the tapes and ran it again. The
ARF tapes read in using the first 6. Fortunately I hadn't written
anything to the physical tape yet so I didn't have to deal with the bplabel or
tape headers.
Thanks for all the replies.
Jeff

Judy,
The library is sending all 8. When I look at the media manager I can see
the barcode showing all 8 characters. The media ID it is assigning for the LT
is taking the first 6 while the ARF tapes is taking the last 6.
I checked barcode rules in vmadm and don't have anything of use. There
are only 3 rules. One for cleaning tapes, one for tapes with no labels,
and one for the default.
I may just have to live with the behavior. For what I plan to do with it,
I can work around things.
Thanks for the reply.

Most libraries give you the option to control how it send
the barcodes out.
First 6, last 6, all 8 …….
Look at your library config and see how it is sending out
the barcodes.
Len,
The library is a HP/Compaq MSL6000. There is no virtual environment of
any sort involved. I'm not aware that there was the option on this
library to set up different barcode rules. The fact that NBU sees the
full barcode label properly seems to point me to NBU having something funny in
it.
Thanks,
Jeff

Jeff,
What is the library make and model.
Are you using different virtual
libraries in the LTO3 library. If so any chance that the library number to nbu
does not match those in the vm.conf
Or that the LTO3 library has different
rules on how to present the barcodes for the library?

Greetings,
I just zoned a LTO3 library into an old master server (5.1, I told you it was
old). It sees everything but when I do the barcode scan of the tapes it
is not doing the same thing for each type of label. I took a line in the
vm.conf file and copied it from one of my other libraries and changed the robot
number. When I scan the new library, the tapes that have a label like
LT3001L3 get a media ID of LT3001 while the tapes with labels of ARF301L3 end
up with a media ID of F301L3. I've stopped and restarted the media
management database and I get the expected behavior from the LT tapes but not
the AR tapes. Here is a copy of the vm.conf file.
DEVICE_HOST = coda
SCRATCH_POOL = scratch
VERBOSE
MEDIA_ID_BARCODE_CHARS 21 8 1:2:3:4:5:6
MEDIA_ID_BARCODE_CHARS 20 8 1:2:3:4:5:6
MEDIA_ID_BARCODE_CHARS 30 8 1:2:3:4:5:6
KNOWN = coda
KNOWN = hesston
The server coda is the master. Robots 20 and 21 both use the ARF labels
when I use gen 2 tapes.
I haven't set up a new robot and pool in so long I'm guessing I've forgotten a
file somewhere. I just can't remember what else I need to change.
Thanks,
Jeff
