Not if they all share the same volume database host (which is
preferred to be the master).  The first will be A00000, the second
A00001, etc.

There is a MEDIA_ID_PREFIX that can change that from "A" to whatever
you like.  I'm not sure if that goes on the media server, in which
case you could put a different prefix for each if you wanted.  I'd
think that this would instead go on the volume database host, but I'm
not sure.

Personally, I prelabel (bplabel) any tapes that don't have barcodes.
That way I'm absolutely sure the external and internal labels match
ahead of time.  But this is just a preference.
