Have you checked how the library reads the barcode labels? Have you checked your barcode rules? I had this problem: a) If I have barcode rules in place setup to read only the first 6 characters of the barcode label. Netbackup media manager shows 2 columns the barcode label with 6 characters and the other with the extended (L1 ,L2 etc.) b) If the tape library is setup to send extended barcode labels 6+ characters or "standard" make sure that the library barcode labels matches Netbackups media list. run vmcheckxxx -rt tld -rn 0 -rh "your media server" -list look at the Barcode column to see what the library send to Netbackup.

I looked for a similar command line counterpart but vmchange dosen't seem to be up to the task. -Jonathan ________________________________ From: Randy Samora [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2008 10:11 PM To: Martin, Jonathan; veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] media ID not unique in database (34) That happens a lot to me as well and you're right, I run inventory again and I'm okay. But this time it's being stubborn. I've printed out a report and I'll just pull the tapes that were manually put in there and inventory them through the mail slots. I know there has to be a way to "resync" but I need scratch tapes now for tonight's backups but if anyone knows the answer, there's a trip to Hawaii in it for you, all expenses paid except flight, hotel, meals and drinks. How's that for incentive? From: Martin, Jonathan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2008 21:02: VIRUS ALERT! To: Randy Samora; veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] media ID not unique in database (34) Sometimes I have this issue if I move tapes that are in the library. For example Barcode 123456 is in slot 1 then I move it to slot 2 while changing media. The next time I inventory NBU complains that that media is already in the robot in slot1. In most cases running a 2nd inventory immediately following this clears up the issue. -Jonathan ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Randy Samora Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2008 6:57 PM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] media ID not unique in database (34) My tape dude didn't want to inventory new tapes into the library 54 at a time so he opened the door and inserted 200 tapes. When I try to run an inventory now, I get "media ID not unique in database (34)". If I run a comparison, the robot inventory shows the new tapes but the Volume Configuration does not and so I see a "Mismatch - Yes". But if I try to update the volume configuration, that's when I get the Status 34. I've rebooted the library but the library already knows what's in the library. How do I get NetBackup updated? This is a Windows environment running NBU 6.0 MP5. Thanks Randy No virus found in this incoming message.
