T194 - Duplicate Barcode Label Detected
Description GUI Description: A tape cartridge with a duplicate barcode label has been
detected.
Explanation: During library initialization, or after a main door closure event,
the library performs an inventory of the entire library. An inventory of
respective magazines is also performed each time an I/E (I/O) station closes.
These inventory operations use scanner-reported barcode label information to
determine element full and empty status. If the library detects a duplicate
barcode within the library, it warns of the issue, as it may cause confusion as
to which partition owns the tape cartridge. A RAS ticket will be generated for
each unique duplicate barcode occurrence; a separate ticket will not be
generated for any additional barcode duplications.
Detection Scenarios During “scan” inventory, the scanner reported a tape cartridge that is already
recorded for another element.
Root Causes A tape cartridge has a duplicate barcode label attached.
