Change Media ID drive standalone Netbackup 7.1

[Bryan_Sousa]

I am trying to change the media id on tapes from a different server to new media server.

I run the command bplabel -m nbt040 -d hcart3 -p sn121ahyper1 -n LTO-SEDE-POC-DRIVE2 -host poc-02.

We are using standalone tape to test, and we need to break the MEDIA_ID to change their identification . But bplabel command does this change . Is there any other command to change the ID of the new media in media server ?

Please note ,if you change the media ID, Netbacku treats it as a new volume also you can't restore if you relable or change the media ID of a tape. If I understand your requirement correct, you are trying to reuse a tape that was written by another server ?

Do this,

bpexpdate -m <mediaID> -d 0

bplabel -m media_id -d density -o -host media_server

What message you got from bplabel?

Please ensure that the tape you would change its label is mounted in tape drive when you issue bplabel. Try " bplabel -host media_server -m media_id -d density -n drive_name -o" on master server, or "bplabel -h master_server -host media_server -m media_id -d density -n drive_name -o" on media server.

Hi ashokk, I'm trying to reuse the tape on another server.

I'm run the command C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\admincmd>bplabel -m 828080 -d hcart3 -p ss828ahyper1 -n LTO-SEDE-POC-DRIVE4 -host poc-02, but not show anything.

I deleted de media id "820080" from volume pool ss828ahyper1 and now i'm trying to create a new media id on this tape. i'm run the command bplabel -host media_server -m media_id -d density -n drive_name -o" on master server, but not show anything too.

tks

Hi Yasuhida and ashokk,

I discovered that it is necessary to delete the old media ID and manually create a desired new media ID before running the command bplabel. After this steps the media id was changed successfuly.

Thanks for all help.
