Depends on how you labeled and checked in tapes. Be careful with
overwrite=yes, you can overwrite tapes with data on them -yes! I prefer using
overwrite=yes when checking from bulk i/o, with: search=bulk option.
Do a q vol on the tapes you labeled and see if anything shows up. Do a q
libvol and see if they are in list. If they are not used for data by now, then
the way I handle this is to checkout the tapes and then do:
label libvol lib_name search=bulk labelsource=barcode checkin=scratch
overwrite=yes
This will relabel tapes. I have had a few that got mislabeled (label on tape
didn't match barcode - this solved it. Also had a few tapes that got
read/write errors at very beginning of tape, solved that too.
Depends on what type of library you have too as to how to label, if you don't
have bulk I/O station.

After issuing a label libvol command to a series of tapes, I discovered I
forgot to use the overwrite=yes option, which was necessary in this case.
The default is overwrite=no. I tried the label libvol command again, with
overwrite=yes, but the log says that 0 tapes were labelled.
Does anybody know how I can change this setting to overwrite=y? These tapes
will be unusable unless this overwrite option is changed to yes. I am unable
to find any procedure in the TSM Admin Guide on how to do this.
Thanks, in advance.
