Error Code 64:39 Media label does not match

Library inventory reports different barcodes after upgrade or restart.

Symptoms

After a library firmware is upgraded or restarted, the library inventory reports all media have different barcodes than those previously reported prior to the upgrade or restart. All of the media with data and existing spares are marked exported with no location and the error message appears.

Causes

Some library firmware upgrades can change the way barcodes are reported.  In most cases the difference is a suffix or prefix to the original barcode.
