Veritas NetBackup™ Status Codes Reference Guide

Last Published: 2020-09-14

Product(s): NetBackup (8.3.0.1)

Media Manager status code 95

Message: media ID is not the specified media type

Explanation: A request was made to assign or add a volume of a specified media type. The volume or physically similar volumes have a different media type.

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.
When you use the robot inventory update to make changes to the volume configuration, do the following: ensure that all of the volumes of the same physical cartridge type map to a single media type, such as HCART. This check ensures that all of the media in the robotic library can be mounted on drives with a compatible drive type.
When you assign the volumes manually, specify the media type that is associated with the volume. Always use barcodes that are unique with respect to the six least significant characters, across all of the media in all of the robots. You can also use media ID generation rules to ensure that the unique media IDs are generated when you use the robot inventory update.
