Media Manager status code 101

Message: media type and volume group mismatch

Explanation: A request was made to add volumes or change volume residences in the volume configuration. The media type and volume group that are associated with the volume configuration changes are in conflict with the requirements for the volume groups. All of the volumes in a volume group are required to have the same residence that also includes having the same media type. The media types that are used for data and their associated cleaning media types are considered to be the same with regard to volume group restrictions.

Recommended Action:

  • Examine the command output, debug logs, and system logs for a more detailed message on the error.

    See "Setting Media Manager debug logging to a higher level" in the NetBackup Logging Reference Guide.

  • Ensure that the specified media type and volume group are compatible with other volumes in the volume configuration that are in the specified volume group. Choose a different volume group on the request, or let the volume group be automatically selected. The volume group selection depends on the interface that is being used.
