Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Media ID / Barcode rules
In NBU 6.5.3 and above the following fix to help resolve this issue was
added. This allows NBU to receive two different bar codes from different
libraries, yet understand they are from the same media id.
From the command line you can specify -fix_barcode_suffix or if you are
using the GUI you will need to add a touch file -
/usr/openv/volmgr/database/FIX_BARCODE_SUFFIX
The recognition of matching barcodes is based on two things:
1.) the barcodes must be at least 6 characters in length and identical
except the last two characters
2.) the media id generation settings on the library must match those on
the old library such that the media id generated based on the new barcode is
the same media id as is in the database. So if their media ids contain the
"L1", "L2" etc suffix, this fix won't work for them."
That said, we have discovered a problem with this fix that causes problems
when new media are added using the new library. An EEB to address that is
available by quoting Etrack 1486729 if you open a support case.

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...

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????

Ok, move back the characters of the library to 6 and delete from netbackup
all tapes that are at the scratch pool and all tapes that you try to use
during this period (like 000717L1). Be sour that no backups are written to
the tapes you will delete. If you are not sour about the frozen tapes just
remove them from the library.
After you delete the tapes rerun the inventory and be sour that you have
tape ID 000717 and barcode 000717 (NOT with L1).
