Well I thought that took care of the issue
but there is still a problem. I ran an inventory on my tapes after changing
the Barcode Label Length to 6 and everything looked good. I tried to run
a duplication using the new library and tapes with the 6 character bar codes
and it couldn’t find any media and gave me a 96 error. Note, the
tapes I’m trying to use are scratch tapes that from the old library that
are cataloged in NetBackup. Basically all that’s been done is the
tape library has been changed along with the addition of a Data Domain
VTL. In trying to debug this, I changed the Barcode Label Length
back to 8, reran the inventory, kicked off my dupe job and got the output below.
The D11230 is the source of the duplication and it says it is mounting 0717L1
which is the Media ID for barcode 000717L1 then saying it found
000717 in the drive. The Media ID and barcode are getting shifted both
ways, how do I get this to use only the leftmost 6 characters and recognize
them when I kick off a job? Anyone have any idea what’s going on
and what I can do to take care of this????

Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] Media ID
/ Barcode rules
This is because your
old library was giving you only the first 6 characters of the barcode. All new
libraries gives you all 8 barcode characters . To change this, go to your
library GUI and logon as administrator.
Go to configuration
-> system and change the value of “Barcode
Label Length Reported To Host from 8 to 6.
Be sure that “Barcode Label Alignment Reported To Host” is
left.
If you do not want
to change the library, you have to configure media ID generation and not the
barcode rules. But you have to import all tapes with hand and right click them
and select update barcode.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Media ID /
Barcode rules
Our
environment, NBU 6.5.4 running on HP-UX 11-31 with a Data Domain VTL and newly
attached MSL6060 tape library that replaced a SureStore 20/700 library.
I
don’t think we had any barcode rules set up
for
anything but cleaning cartridges when we were using the
20/700
library. The physical barcodes on the tapes are for example
000001L1
and
the last 2 characters were dropped leaving 000001 as the Media ID and
Barcode. Now that the MSL6060 library is connected when I do an inventory
it gives me 0001L1 for a Media ID and 000001L1 for a Barcode. I’m going
through the manual and getting confused on how to accomplish dropping the last
2 characters (L1) and using only the first 6 (000001) for both Media ID and
Barcode. Can anyone let me know or at
least point me in the right direction to accomplish this?
Thanks
in advance…
