Hi All,
Our tape library was having a problem (HP ESL322E), then the engineer fixed the problem. After that I see "Media and Device Management" -> Media -> Robots -> TLD(1) the content is empty.
So what I did the "Invontory Robot" with the "Inventory operation" tick to "Update volume configuration" and start, it can do the inventory for all the tapes in that tape library, but after I click OK. the content is still empty ( "Media and Device Management" -> Media -> Robots -> TLD(1) the content is empty)
So what it went wrong? Is it the tape library problem or the Netbackup Problem.
Thank you,
Iwan

Bellow is the inventory result.
You can see this message:
Update failed: could not add new media ID '400239' into slot 1
Insert media failed:
media ID not unique in database (34)
Looks like the database of the tape is still there, ecause If I eject the tape in that slot 1 then did the inventory again then it will complain the tape in tape in slot 2. so seems like every tape on my tape library are already in the netbackup database.
Any idea what is wrong?

Hi,
Removed the media from the tape library and shutdown the library, but before this activity pls stop the netbackup services also.
This is Library issue.
pls share the total slot and free slot also.

To check the media list in your Netbackup database, use "nbemmcmd -listmedia -verbose".
Due to the library issue that it was taken offline without Netbackup knowing it, its database will still have those media records. Now that the library is up and doing an inventory detects the previous media already exist, you can try to remove those media from the database by using "vmdelete -m <mediaiD>"
Once those affected media are deleted, re-inventory the robot again.
