Do you know how to on this G3 ESL, because I have gone through the Manual and I cannot see anything about it, and HP is saying it is a NetBackup issue, but I keep stating it is not :(

Hi Simon,

 

you can  change the Barcode reading direction on the GUI of the ESL tape Library (left to right)

 

 

Mit freundlichen Grüßen/With kind regards

Matthew

I do not have anything like this in VM.conf

I have existing Tape Libraries, that are reading the last 6 digits of the Barcode just fine.

 

If I create a Media ID Generation Rule, then this means I am trying to move away from the default behaviour of NetBackup?

 

I want to read W995L5 - But I am SSW995 in the Media ID and Barcode Colums under Media and Device Management, then under Robots and under Robot TLD(1)

 

Simon

Hi All

Hope everyone is well.

Can someone advise on this?

I have implemented an HP G3 ESL Library under NBU 7.5 - However, I have a problem.

 

When doing the Inventory, it is showing the Media ID as the first 6 characters of the Barcode, rather than the last 6 characters of the Barcode.

 

For example, what I expect to see is W955L5, but what I am seeing is SSW995 being imported!

 

Any ideas as HP is telling me it is a NBU issue, but I was under the impression that by design, NetBackup imports the last 6 characters of the barcode.

 

Thanks, Simon
