media label mismatch with barcode
- 12 years ago
hi All,
I have managed to resolve the same...was risky though but i remembered to have done sumthing similar taking symantec's help last year.
here are the steps:
1. change the barcode rule ( for eg if the tape should read 0044L3 instead of 000044 for media 000044L3, use 3:4:5:6:7:8)
2. then delete the media and reinventory it.
3. it should come up with the desired barcode ( at least it happens in my case)
4. in case you get an error code 34 ( media ID not unique), look around for a media ID of the same name...it shud be present...change the barcode for that as per point 1 and then reinventory that. before that make sure ur old tape is in IO and you do not select the "empty media access port prior to update" while inventory.
5. That way both the tapes would be coming with unique media IDs and there wud be no conflict.
cheers, anish
