    We are really trying to help you here. It is close to 5 hours since I have asked for output of:

    nbemmcmd -listmedia -mediaid SB7773

    We need to find out what is already in NBU database for this tape and therefore giving 'not unique in database' error.

Hi,

 

Take a look if the media is assigned (has a date under the assigned field). If not, delete that media and retry the inventory.
