Wondering if someone with experience with this can help me out. I am using Netbackup 6.5 NDMP option. My HP 1/8 G2 Autoloader is connected directly to a NetApp filer. Configuration was not a problem. My devices and volumes all came in without issues. The problem I have is when Netbackup looks at the tapes, it assigns the tapes the Media IDs A00000-A000007 in slots 1-8 (OK so far). I do a backup, remove the tapes I want to store, put new tapes in and the media IDs do not change? I was thinking that the next tape added would get a media ID of A00008 and so on. I tried reinventorying the robot and updating volume info, etc but it still lists any tapes in the robot as A00000-A00007. When I try to do a backup, it will then generate an error stating it expected a certian media ID and found a different one. I tried changing my media ID names to something else, say tape001, tape002 and then using bplable to write the lable onto each tape. That still works for for the first 8 tapes. Once I add another tape, the software does not give it the next media ID.. Any thoughts..
