Can't import tape -How change the barcode?

[Wolaf25]

Hi People, here I'm again ...

I'm trying to import a tape to EMM but I have this error :

23/02/2015 18:33:02 - begin Import
23/02/2015 18:33:05 - started process bptm (pid=44171592)

23/02/2015 18:33:54 - end Import; elapsed time 0:00:52
cannot perform specified media import operation  (176)
 

We have Master AIX 6.1, media server AIX 6.1, Netbackup 7.0.1, this backup was maded over a EMC EDL4100.

Resumen

The backup was made with Netbackup 7.0, using the same EMM that we use now, but was performed using EDL4100 and export to LTO3 physical tape using EDL4100 interface, right buttom over the tape and export to Adic i500, for this reason the differents barcodes.

Now EDL4100 was decommissioned and we are using DD860 with TS3100 IBM tape library, with LTO5.

And I need to restore some information from this tape.

How can I rename the tape or use the the information from the tape?

Thanks for your help.

Just remove A520L3 and add H20073 with right residence(robot number and slot number). If it is hard to identify which media is in each slot, use vmphyinv command in stead of adding media with previous media ID manually. vmphyinv read media ID from media header, and update volume DB with media ID read from media header.

You will need to make a note of the slot #, delete A520L3, add media as media-id H20073 with barcode A520L3.
e.g. vmadd -m  H20073 -mt <density>  -p <pool-number> -b A520L3
Then right-click the media-id in the GUI and 'move' it into robot #, slot ##, matching volume group... (or Inventory the robot to update slot #)

If media-id H20073 already exists in NBU database, just add/change barcode field:

vmchange -barcode A520L3 -m H20073

Hope this helps!
