vmphyinv is unable to update the EMM database because of the existing errors. The errors can be as follows:
A Media Manager volume record belongs to a different robot with the same media ID as the media ID that the tape header read.
The media type or media GUID or the volume pool of an assigned volume record needs to be changed.
A bar code conflict is detected and vmphyinv needs to change the bar code of the existing volume record.
Recommended Action: vmphyinv, in such a scenario, generates a list of errors. Examine the output. You must resolve all these errors before you run the utility again.
