Hi,

I have a question about the bar code reader and how NetWorker determines
if it has to re-load the volume to know what it's label is.

I've noticed that if you have the bar code reader value turned on for
the jukebox then NetWorker will only load the barcoded tape during an
inventory the first time. After that, it no longer needs to load it to
inventory it. Makes sense. It also makes sense that if you turn off the
library, and or move tapes around then as long as the affected tapes
have been previously inventoried, NetWorker should not have to re-load
them to inventory them, BUT why is it that if you move the library to a
different server then NetWorker has to re-load the tapes from scratch
during the first inventory on that server, but once again, only the
first time. This happens whenever we move the library to a new storage
node server. Is this normal behavior? Maybe the fact that the SCSI
cables were unhooked and the control port has changed causes this?

Thanks.

George
