Folks,

It appears that the script we normally use wasn't working on these batch of
tapes...

I used the following and was successful:

label libv  library_name search=bulk labelsource=barcode checkin=scratch
overwrite=yes

Everything worked fine!

Thanks for all of your help and your quick responses!!!!

I had trouble with some new ones and come to find out they were formatted
wrong from the company we received them from.

My experience with "new" tapes is that you have to label them first before
you can use them within tsm.


If you have a barcode reader and a library with bulk I/O slots (like I do)
the command would be:

label libv  library_name search=bulk labels=barcode checkin=scr

Which would label all the volumes in the bulk I/O slots using the barcode
reader to aquire their labels and check them in as scratch.

As usual, if this isn't quite your config you can get help within tsm by
using h label libv.

Folks,

I think I've seen this before but I can't remember....

Every new scratch tape I try to insert into the library is giving me:

ANR8355E I/O Error reading label

The tape appears to be checked in as scratch but when TSM
tries to use them, they error out.

Thanks!
