Hello,
To simplify my question,
assume that there are two tape cartridges with
same bar codes.
The tapes are extended high performance tapes.
We have two IBM 3494 tape libraries
(I call them as 3494A and 3494B each).
If I put one tape into 3494A dnd if I put the other tape into
3494B, will this cause a problem to ADSM server due to
same bar codes?
I have ADSM installed on an RS/6000 unix server
which manages the two libraries.
I am a newbie in ADSM and someone says this will cause a problem
but I don't understand why. Since they are in physically different
library, there should be a way to distinguish the two tapes with
same bar codes. Any comments will be much appreciated.
thanks.
