Hi Chris,
I've "acquired" the same responsibility - however mine was due to changing
block sizes on our system, so I had to "scratch" the label from the tapes too.
Legato tech support recommended this method -
Load the tape without mounting it -- nsrjb -ln -f {device name} -S{slot
number}
Write an end of file to the tape -- mt -f {device name} weof
Check the media database for any index -- mminfo -avot {tape barcode label}
If needed, delete the entry from the index -- nsrmm -d {tape barcode label}
Label the tape with the Default label -- nsrjb -L -Y -S{slot number} -f
{device name} -v
Label the tape with a {Pool} label -- nsrjb -L -Y -S{slot number} -b {Pool
name} -f {device name} -v
However, I've frequently found I'd end up re-labeling some of the tapes via
the GUI, as the tapes are still thought of as full in the index for some
reason.
Hope this helps.
Have a great weekend!

I have "aquired" responsibility of the backup process

jukebox and start with "fresh" tapes all in the
default pool. None of the existing data is of value.
Can anyone tell me the best way to do this? It seems I
would need to relable the volumes but that did not
seem to set the all back to 0% used???
Thanks,
Chris
