    This was because faulty robot replacement made on library.

    1. Unloaded all tapes from drives.

    2. Verified barcode rules and updated the configuration.

    3. Inventoried tape library.

    4. Deleted all wrong barcode tapes from Netbackup.

    5. Reconfigured tape library from Netbackup.

    6. Inventoried from Netbackup.

    7. barcodes were chagned and issue was resolved.

     

  • It seems that Media Id Generation Rules was changed at some stage in your environment, or else you have tapes that were used in another environment that had different generation rules.
    You can see what the problem is : 

    expected 0570L6, found 6L0570, FREEZING 0570L6

    So, my interpretation is that 0570L6 is the Media ID in NBU database.
    When the tape was loaded, it found an internal label of 6L0570 on the tape. 

    Do you know why this is the case? 

    If there are no images associated with either 6L0570 or 0570L6, you can unfreeze 0570L6, then label the same media id with 'verify label' de-selected. 
    You will need to do this for all tapes with this problem. 

  • BharathAchar can you please verify if the Tape Library is reading the barcode or Tape Label correctly?

    Login to your Tape Library interface and make sure it's identifying the Tape as NetBackup has labeled it or expecting it.
