Originally we were talking about shipping the tapes, but now we are gonna
hand carry the tapes.   We are confirming this procedure with Sterling
Forest.

Thanks for your response.

Recovery Test


Nancy, is this because you're shipping the tapes or some such? We've
done several tests at Sterling Forest and never needed to do this, but
we hand-carry our tapes (about 145, mixed LTO1 and LTO2).

I'd hit up your project manager to come up with an IBM-approved method
(the silver marker sounds like the best to me).

Subject: Adding additional sticker to lto tapes for Disaster Recovery
Test

Hello,

We have a disaster recovery test scheduled soon for IBM Sterling Forest,
NY site.   We have been asked to add an additional sticker to all our
LTO
1 and LTO2 tapes as a unique identifier for the disaster recovery
test(about 600 tapes) while at the DR test site besides the barcode
label.
   We will be using a 3584 Library - LTO 2 drives for the recovery test.
I
talked to our  library vendor, who suggested adding the labels to the
top
of the lto 2 tapes, and that the additional label doesn't pose any
problem
as long as it isn't a barcode type label and that the label of course is
stuck on correctly to the tape.   I believe the identifier would be our
DR
contract number(have to confirm that).

Wondering if anyone else has had to do this for a dr test, any issues,
recommendations?

TSM Version 5.2.3.5
Operating System - AIX 5.3 Mod 2
ADIC I2000 Library -LTO 2 drives

Thank You.
