I’ve tried deleting the media but I’m getting :

“cannot delete assigned volume 001446. Cannot delete assigned media”

Any thoughts?

Hello Wayne

It might be because they registered as another media type already

I would try to delete the media and then rerun the inventory

All:
Our environment, HP-UX 11-31 currently running one master / media server on NetBackup 6.5.2. (I know, 6.5 is getting old, we are trying to plan an upgrade..) We are running mostly unix / Linux backups and a couple windows b/u’s thrown in for good measure.

I’m trying to restore from some old tapes on a library that it wasn’t created from which shouldn’t make any difference. When I do an inventory, I’m getting the following error:

05/16/2013 14:38:46
Robot: TLD(1) on hqhp3

Logically add new media 001446 (barcode 001446L1) to robot slot 8.

Processing new media added to the robotic library by logically
adding media with new media IDs as follows...

Update failed: could not add new media ID '001716' into slot 6
Insert media failed:
media ID not unique in database (34)

My bar code rules appear to be correct, it’s showing the 1^st 6 positions of the tape and leaving off the L1. Anyone know why it thinks it’s new media and not unique and won’t let me inventory these tapes?
