Mismatched Volume

Question

I replaced some full tapes with older tapes that the previous netbackup admin indicated could be used again.&nbsp; However, I must have done something wrong as whne I performed robot inventory, the barcode and the media id for the tape in slot&nbsp;3 do not match.

Can I correct this error without removing the tape?&nbsp; The media id should be ECL942 instead of ECL929.&nbsp; ECL929 was moved to one of the mailslots on my MSL8096 tape library.&nbsp; Any assistance on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

doing just the update volume config without emptying the the MAP's and see if it changes.
if not then it was put in that way can can be change by command line
however if the tape has no valid backup images on it...
you can just leave the tape where it is, in the gui delete the media, then do an inventory again with update volume config - and if your media id generation rules are correct it should come back in correctly.
