Tape backup read label
Hi All,
Recently the customer request me a restore information, I find the information in a tape and I mounted it, but when I request information from inventory, the system show me the name of tape different than when this tape was written. In this case the name of tape is LT5020L5, this is the name that I see after the inventory, the old name is T5020L5, yes the L was ommited, then when I try to restore the system ask for the tape T5020L5, and when I mounted, the system found the tape LT5020L5 and is going to scratch.
I think in to import the tape to read the images and put it into the database, but after this I will have two tapes with same information, how this could solve? I accept other options for restore in this case.
Regards,

- So, previously the robot only reported 7 characters of the barcode and NBU used the last 6 as media-id:
5025L5 T5025L5
Now the robot reports all 8 characters of the barcode and NBU uses the 1st 6 as media-id:
LT5025 LT5025L5
Media-id 5025L5 is the one with images.
You will need to delete media-id LT5025.
After delete, update the barcode of media-id 5025L5 from cmd:
vmchange -m 5025L5 -barcode LT5025L5
(Command is in ....volmgr/bin)
Then inventory the robot.
The restore will now work.
