Managing Suspect Tapes
A suspect tape is a tape that has conflicting identification information. Tapes are marked as
suspect in the following cases:
• Two tapes have the same bar code and different on-media identifiers (OMID)
• Two tapes have the same OMID and different bar codes
• Two tapes have same OMID, and one of the tapes does not have a bar code
• A non-cleaning tape is used for cleaning
DPM cannot use a suspect tape. To resolve the suspect status of the tape, perform the
appropriate steps as listed in the following table.
Reason the tape is suspect Resolution
Two tapes have the same bar code and
different OMIDs
Change the bar code for one of the suspect
tapes. After you resolve the issues for all
suspect tapes, open a command prompt
window and run the ResolveSuspectMedia.cmd
script.
Two tapes have the same OMID and different
bar codes
-or-
Two tapes have same OMID, and one of the
tapes does not have a bar code
This indicates that one of the tapes is valid,
while the invalid tape has the same OMID and
is causing both tapes to be marked as suspect.
1. Remove both tapes that are marked
suspect from the tape library.
2. Open a command prompt window and run
the ResolveSuspectMedia.cmd script.
At this point the suspect tapes will no
longer be labeled as suspect.
3. Insert one of the tapes into the library.
4. On the Libraries tab in the Management
task area, click Inventory library.
If the tape is labeled suspect after the
inventory, this is the invalid tape and you
should eject it. Re-run
ResolveSuspectMedia.cmd, insert the other
tape, and then run Inventory library.
If the tape is not labeled suspect after the
inventory, the other tape is the invalid tape.
After you determine the invalid tape, do not use
it in this DPM server again without erasing it.
