Hi all


I have a problem with a customer

Ambient

O.S. Windows 2003
Netabckaup 6.5.3

Adic library


Problem:


The customer change the library because have some problem, and after install the library and have a new library id. The label on inventory see only 6 number and no 8

In vm.conf is setting

MEDIA_ID_BARCODE_CHARS = 0 8 1:2:3:4:5:6

On inventory the barcode rules is setting:

On tab media setting all are on default
On tab Barcode rules:
   barcode tag = 0
   Media Type = hcart3
   Volume Pool = scratch
   MaxMount    = 0
On Media Id generation:
   Robot number = 0
   Barcode Lenght = 8
  Media Id generation rule = 1:2:3:4:5:6

Anda after an inventory the barcode did you see only 6 digit

The customer have some volume group with old version of library

Today the customer try to delete and recreate the library

All do you have some idea?

First remove the Media ID generation rule (not sure how in Linux/Unix) because this forces netbackup to use only the first 6 letters. If this still does not work, then you need to enable the Library to read extended barcode label (Talk to your Library vendor).

You can also read more on Netbackup Admin Guide Vol1 from Pg 565.

Has the extended label reading been enabled on the library? Media ID generation rule 1:2:3:4:5:6 means that Netbackup will only read the first 6 characters on the label and ignore the rest for exmaple if  the the lable on tape is BH0001L3, the current config will only read BH0001. To read the full lable remove the media ID generation rule.

Tks

But after install the new library on vm.conf the file is configured:


MEDIA_ID_BARCODE_CHARS = 0 8 3:4:5:6:7:8

Now I have the configuration

In vm.conf is setting

MEDIA_ID_BARCODE_CHARS = 0 8 1:2:3:4:5:6

On inventory the barcode rules is setting:

On tab media setting all are on default
On tab Barcode rules:
   barcode tag = 0
   Media Type = hcart3
   Volume Pool = scratch
   MaxMount    = 0
On Media Id generation:
   Robot number = 0
   Barcode Lenght = 8
  Media Id generation rule = 1:2:3:4:5:6

And I want to read 8 digit BH0001L3 but now i read only BH0001

I want read BH0001L3 :)
