Depends on what level you want. 

If Netbackup sees and mounts the tape, then 'vmoprcmd' output will show
the barcode and the media name together.

If you want to leave most of netbackup out of it, you can use robtest
(or the sub tests like tldtest) to query the library directly.  's d'
will ask for a scan of the drives.  On most libraries that will include
any associated barcodes for tapes in the drives.
