You need the following command to label one tape in the I/O port of the 3570:
dsmlabel -drive=mt1.0.0.1,16 -library=lb1.1.0.1
(addition of keep = leave the tape in the library, or overwrite = re-label the
tape are possible,
change the SCSI values to your values, have a look in the ADSM
Utilities/Diagnostics)

and one command for the checkin:

checkin libv 3570lib volname stat=scratch
(change the volname to the name used in the dsmlabel)
Repeat this for every single tape.

In ADSM V3 you can use the label libvolume command, which labels and checkin
the tape in one step.

Subject: 3570 labels again


hi

i tried a few things u suggested but to no avail. i am using adsm v2.1.06 on nt4
platform. i use a 3570b2, dual-drive tape library without barcode reader.

my tape pool is low and have only 14 tapes in the unit (rather than 19), and am
putting in new tpaes into the system but cannot get the labeller working.

what i want is to put a tape into the exit/entry port, type in dsmlabel command,
get the system to drag in the tape and label it and then spit it back out the
entry/exit port. i do this for the 20 tapes i purchased. when all labelled i
will then checkin the tapes.

is it possible to do this under v2? if so what is the command paramters to do
this?

regards
shane
