Media Manager status code 127

Message: unable to generate a unique media ID

Explanation: A request was made to add volumes in the volume configuration by using the robot inventory update or by using a media ID seed. A unique media ID was not generated because the "use seed" option was not specified, or because the available media ID combinations were used up.

Recommended Action: If you use robot inventory update, either ensure that all of the media in the robotic library have readable barcode labels, or request updates by using a seed to generate media IDs for non-barcoded media automatically. If the volumes are added by specifying a seed, use a seed that allows media ID character combinations beyond those already in use. To identify the slot that is associated with the media that may not have a readable barcode, examine the command output.
