We have recently received a number of tapes from a remote site that have tape 
labels that are not compatible with out TS3500.  They are too long and the 
paper label does not exactly match the electronic label.

We have found we can hand mount a tape and see the soft label.

The problem is the soft is not a valid label for the library.  An example is 
LTO00021L, we have all of the 20 series.  Truncating leaves me with a bunch of 
LTO0002 tapes. 

Short of hand mounting many tapes, how can I have TSM mount and read these 
tapes?

Thank you,

Andy Huebner
