Netbackup incorrectly assigning MediaIDs at first but corrects when deleted & re-scanned.
Netbackup v10.2.0.1 - We're importing & cataloging (P1/P2) 1000s of tapes and we've got a script that does inventory (vmupdate) when the tapes are loaded for multiple media agents. The MediaID generation rule are applied, for few random tapes it does not add the initials eg.: NS is not added for tape NS1234 but it is updated as 1234L6 (default inventory) which fails the import jobs as it cannot find the tape. The same tapes [updated as 1234L6] when deleted from console and re-scanned manually from console gets the correct barcode NS1234. It is random & intermittent (but happens atleast once in 2 days) so I was hoping to get more details from Logs when it happens. It will be good to know which logs are required apart from bptm on media agents and if there are any other robot/inventory specific logs with higher debug ? Thank you.625Views0likes4CommentsBackupExec 2014 - Identical mediaID for new tapes
Hi, I ordered new HP LTO5 cartridges for my Backup Exec 204 server. But I have an issue to add these news tapes into a media set. The problem is that my 3 new tapes have all the same media ID in BackupExec. I add my first tape, label it "Tape1" and add it to the right media set, no problem. And when I insert the second tape, this tape as the exact same label, media ID, than the first one ... And same problem with the third tape. So, how can I have a different media ID for each tape ? I don't get the problem because last year I added new tapes without any issue. Thank you for your answers813Views0likes3Comments
