NetBackup 10.2 Hotfix - Tapes being deassigned prematurely after upgrading to 10.2 (Etrack 4132888)

HotFix Critical

Abstract

Tapes being deassigned prematurely after having upgraded to 10.2

Description

Veritas Bug ID:  ET 4132888

 

Issue:   Tapes being deassigned prematurely after having upgraded to 10.2

 

Version: NetBackup 10.2

 

Problem Description: Tapes were being deassigned prematurely after having upgraded to 10.2. Tape media that have been deassigned would allow them to be moved into a configured Scratch Pool allowing any unexpired images on those tapes to be overwritten. This will happen to only tape media IDs containing five characters or fewer.

Installation README:
