Hi Steven,
You need to get "FASTLOAD" enabled on your 9714.  Get your CE to do it.

(Nobody I know can explain why, but that's what we had to do when we had
the same problem.)
Carl.

Using AIX 4.3.0, ADSM 3.1.2.0
I'm having trouble labelling new blank tapes in our new
StorageTek 9714 library with 2 DLT7000 drives.

I have tried using 'label libvolume'
with 'labels=barcode' and both 'search=bulk' and 'search=yes'
and also dsmlabel specifying the drive explicitly.

Tapes that were pre-labelled by our library supplier are
fine and can be overwritten using the overwrite option.

dsmlabel gives the error :

ANR9736E An I/O error occurred while accessing library device '/ANR9736E An
I/O
error occurred while accessing library device '/dev/lb0'.
