Netbackup Tape Inventory Problem
Hi All,
Our tape library was having a problem (HP ESL322E), then the engineer fixed the problem. After that I see "Media and Device Management" -> Media -> Robots -> TLD(1) the content is empty.
So what I did the "Invontory Robot" with the "Inventory operation" tick to "Update volume configuration" and start, it can do the inventory for all the tapes in that tape library, but after I click OK. the content is still empty ( "Media and Device Management" -> Media -> Robots -> TLD(1) the content is empty)
So what it went wrong? Is it the tape library problem or the Netbackup Problem.
Thank you,
Iwan
- The issue is most likely that the library is displaying a differnt barcode to nbu thn before, but the media id being calculated is the same, so nbu sees a new tape (because different barcode) but cannot add it as the media id is already in the db. Look in NBU media on the GUI and write down the barcode in say slot 1. EG AA1234 Run robtest and run s s Write down the barcode for the same tape in slot 1, eg AA1234L4 If they are different, as in my example, you need to set the library so it displays the same barcode as NBU, eg, only display the first 6 characters, then the barcodes will match. If the barcodes are in fact the same, report back here ... Martin
