Media ID Generation not being honored
I figured I'd try this. (AUTO_UPDATE_ROBOT)
Our Quantum library does, in fact, import the tape automatically and it updates NetBackup with the new tape. However, it is not honoring the Media ID Generation rule.
Library is set to report all 8 characters from the barcode. The barcode on the tape being imported is 400110L4.
The Media ID Generation Rule is 1:2:3:4:5:6. The media ID should show up as 400110.
The media ID being generated automatically is 0110L4. But the barcode does appear in NetBackup correctly as 400110L4.
When I delete the media ID and re-inventory the library manually, the media ID is being generated correctly as 400110.
Any suggestions, anyone? Or is this just a bug?
as you say you are trying the auto inject maybe the master does not have the rules.
Was it from a different server/pc than the one you were running the console on?
Reason I ask is that the barcode rules are saved on the server/pc that is running the console when you make the rules.
Example.
Run console from my pc, make a barcode rule and save it.
Start the console from the master server - go and look - no barcode rules.
You have to make the barcode rules on ever server/pc that runs the console so whomever might add new media has the same rules ready on it.
I tore my hair out trying to figure out why someone else who added new tapes was always messing it up. Because when I looked I had rules. Then I look on his pc and he did not have any rules.
Please go vote for my idea to have this moved to the master server no matter where you run the console.
