Well I thought that but see a bit above:
\\.\Tape1, drive serial number
HU10606CNF, expected serial number HU10606CNF
That’s the drive serial number.

That serial number is actually the drive serial number. It will
freeze media if it gets any error or non matched info

I was quite surprised to find
that NetBckup is not just looking at the tape label, but also what I think is
the cartridge serial number with LTO. I guess that comes from the
LTO-CM. This is 6.5.4
This happened on a Windows

So I’d suggest, don’t reuse
barcodes.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] LTO tape label / sequence?
Hello,
The question of
"should we be paying particular attention of tape labels" question
reared it's ugly head for me once again and I can't remember the answer.
Am I correct to
believe that NBU won't import or confuse itself or the database if we should put
a tape in the robot which has the same label as a tape that's has already been
written too and cataloged?
And, should I
be ordering labels with an existing sequence?
Regards,
John Keating
