Example barcode rules
The following table shows some example barcode rules. Rules are sorted first according to the number of characters in the barcode tag and then by the order added. Two exceptions are the <NONE> and <DEFAULT> rules, which are always located at the end of the list.
Table: Example barcode rules
Barcode tag | Media type | Volume pool | Max mounts and cleanings | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
0080 | 8MM | b_pool | 55 | New 008 volumes |
DLT | DLT | d_pool | 200 | DLT backup |
CLD | DLT_CLN | None | 30 | DLT cleaning |
CLT | 8MM_CLN | None | 20 | 8-mm cleaning |
TL8 | 8MM | t_pool | 0 | 8-mm backup |
TL | 8MM | None | 0 | 8-mm no pool |
<NONE> | DEFAULT | None | 0 | No barcode |
<DEFAULT> | DEFAULT | NetBackup | 0 | Other barcodes |
Assume that you select the following media settings (update options) for the update operation for a new 8-mm volume in a TL8 robot:
Media type = 8MM
Volume group = 00_000_TL8
Use barcode rules = YES
Volume pool = DEFAULT
If a new volume in this robotic library has a barcode of TL800001, NetBackup uses the rule with the barcode tag of TL8. NetBackup assigns the following attributes to the volume:
Media ID = 800001 (last six characters of barcode)
Volume group = 00_000_TL8
Volume pool = t_pool
Maximum mounts = 0 (no maximum)
If a new volume has a barcode of TL000001, NetBackup uses the rule with the barcode tag of TL. NetBackup assigns the following attributes to the volume:
Media ID = 000001 (last six characters of barcode)
Volume group = 00_000_TL8
Volume pool = None
Maximum mounts = 0 (no maximum)
