Netbackup incorrectly assigning MediaIDs at first but corrects when deleted & re-scanned.
Netbackup v10.2.0.1 - We're importing & cataloging (P1/P2) 1000s of tapes and we've got a script that does inventory (vmupdate) when the tapes are loaded for multiple media agents. The MediaID generation rule are applied, for few random tapes it does not add the initials eg.: NS is not added for tape NS1234 but it is updated as 1234L6 (default inventory) which fails the import jobs as it cannot find the tape. The same tapes [updated as 1234L6] when deleted from console and re-scanned manually from console gets the correct barcode NS1234. It is random & intermittent (but happens atleast once in 2 days) so I was hoping to get more details from Logs when it happens. It will be good to know which logs are required apart from bptm on media agents and if there are any other robot/inventory specific logs with higher debug ? Thank you.627Views0likes4CommentsNeed to use all 8 characters for media ID
We are getting a new robot which will use LTO6 tapes, but will be able to read LTO4. On our old one we are using LTO3 and LTO4. So can I use all 8 barcode chars as media ID? I do not want to create conflict between for example: 000001L4 and 000001L6. Or should I use the last 6 chars (0001L6). Thank you.Solved2.7KViews0likes9Comments
