There should be an option for 'Ignore Barcode Media ID' Have you tried enabling that?

If you can't read or write using standard system tools like dd, there is nothing amanda can do about it. Sounds to me like you have hardware problems, either the tape drive or maybe the cables.

He is asking me to use only barcode labeling: "As per the Amanda Tool output and logs there is one cartridge in the MSL which has either missing or worng barcode label or the barcode label is properly aligned as per Tape Cartridge Please remove all the tapes and check if you find such cartridge and if you find that then put the Barcode Lable correctly on it and insert it back in the same slot This error occurs because during initialzation before beackup the MSL take the Inventory of the cartridges in the MSL and if there is any mislatch cartridge, it halts the process of backup" As far as my understanding amanda don't required any barcode labeling. Then what is a problem ? How can I cross check and confirm that "hardware problems, either the tape drive or maybe the cables." ?? Following link have photos of my tapes. Can someone confirm that having such label will be the problem ??? http://news.karpe.net.in/hp-storageworks-msl2024-tape-library-1-lto-4 -- Regards Amit Karpe. http://www.amitkarpe.com/ http://news.karpe.net.in/ -- Regards Amit Karpe. http://www.amitkarpe.com/ http://news.karpe.net.in/
