If they don't have any data on them, you can label them (-L not -R). If they have data, then you should use scanner to read them and get their information into the databases and client indexes.

I have a large number of tapes that were labeled by my NW server before I mmrecov'ed it. Therefore, NW doesn't know about these tapes. I'l like to either re-label them, so they go into the mm database, or import them into the database with their current label. But I can't seem to remember how to do that. I can't mount them, as NW rejects them. I can't seem to find a command that says "Label the tape in slot #X as colume Y, pool Z". What am I missing?
