Change barcode robot contents

I can not change the barcode robot contents . So I can not do the robot invetario it gives barcode error :

" Barcode not unique in database ( 36 )
Media in slot 3 has the same barcode ( CLNU00 ) the average in the slot 48 "

In the log vmchekxxx command we see that the slot 48 and 3 actually has the same barcode .

Changing this barcode robot ??? any suggestion?
 

  • So, you need to remove one of them (e.g. slot 48) and add another CLN barcode. You cannot have 2 tapes with same media id.
  • Two cleaning tapes with the same name; cant you just remove one?

  •  

    But only has one same . For some reason it was marked the slot 48 with that name. In this slot 48 has no tape actually.

  • delete the tape id on slot 48 and set barcode rules and try inventory again.

  •  

    Still the same error : Barcode not unique in database ( 36 ) Media in slot 3 has the same barcode ( CLNU00 ) the average in the slot 48 . There is no change to tape yes to at or change the name on the barcode ?

  • How did you delete the tape? From the GUI, or command line?

    After you deleted the tape, run this to make sure the ID is not in EMM anymore:

       nbemmcmd -listmedia -mediaid CLNU00

    If it's there, you need to remove it by:

       nbemmcmd -deletemedia -mediaid CLNU00 -originhost <mediaserver>

    Then do another inventory.

  • Please show us what the robot sees. NBU can only work with what the robot reports. In robtest, check both slots : s s3 s s48
  • Already, Thanks to all for the answers !

    I did not perform the second command for doing normal backup even with the problem and I was afraid of just delete the only cleaning tape and stop time the backup.
    
    Marianne :
    The robot actually has two cleaning tapes . Robtest showed me :
    
    slot 3 ( addr 4098 ) contains Cartridge = yes
    Source address = 4098
    Barcode = CLNU00
    
    slot 48 ( addr 4143 ) contains Cartridge = yes
    Source address = 4143
    Barcode = CLNU00
  • So, you need to remove one of them (e.g. slot 48) and add another CLN barcode. You cannot have 2 tapes with same media id.
  • Thank you all for your help! 
    
    Mariane , managed to find the address of the slot by robtest command and removed the tape directly by the robot console. Now the inventory worked without error.
    
    Thank you!
