Hi Matt,
There is no way other than to replace the duplicate barcode on tape to
remove the status of "Suspect Media".

Matt,
I hope that you are facing this issue due to duplicate barcodes.
The reason i'm asking this is because suspect media peoblem also arises if
two media have same OMIDs written on them.(some data written by DPM on
tapes).

We have some work around for both the problems.
Let me know if you are still facing the issue.
We'll provide you a tool to fix it.

Thanks,
Ashu

Ashu,

I am having a problem with DPM 2007 with "Suspect Tapes". I have two tapes
registering as "Suspect Tape". However, it is reading the barcode of each
appropriately. One tape barcode is showing as 000001L4, and the other is
showing as 000002L4, the rest read fine (3L4 - 10L4 respectively)

Erase tape is greyed out on these two tapes. They are brand new, never been
used before.

What can I do about these two tapes?

David,

The article http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb808923.aspx deals
with Suspect Media and resolutions.

Unfortunately one of the links on that page is currently not working. Please
use the following instructions to create the CMD file mentioned.


To create the ResolveSuspectMedia.cmd script:

1. In a text editor, enter the following command:

osql -E -S localhost\MS$DPM2007$ -d DPMDB -Q "UPDATE
tbl_MM_ArchiveMedia SET IsSuspect = 0"

2. Save the file as ResolveSuspectMedia.cmd.

Thanks,
