Description:
Receiving "exceeding license ..." error when attempting to add virtual devices
Symptoms:
Error messages such as "Exceeding license for total virtual media capacity (have 251Gb licensed for 250Gb)"
NetVault report "Server License - Capabilities and Usage" shows "Total capacity for virtual devices" with a value greater than what is licensed
Cause:
When an old Virtual Library is removed from NetVault's configuration and a new one created, the associated Virtual Media are not removed from the NetVault Database (NVDB).
After removing the old Virtual Library, either manually 'Remove' the media in the Media Management screen, or you can write a script to use the 'nvremovemedia' utility. This is an invaluable tool to reduce the monotony of having to remove each piece of media manually.
More information for utilizing nvremovemedia can be found in the NetVault Backup Command Line Interface (CLI) Guide.
