The L180 only supports reading the first six characters of the barcode: IE
Label= PPB001L2, library will read PPB001 ONLY. There is nothing I can do to
force it to read the 8 characters from the barcode.
The L60 supports reading all 8 characters. IE Label= PPB001L2, library will
read PPB001L2 and will present this label to netbackup.

All, 

I have a number of LTO-II tapes with printed HP barcodes in the format
PPBxxxL2 
My barcode rules in vm.conf state : 0 8 3:4:5:6:7:8 as I would like 
any new tapes to be labelled with BxxxL2 [IE the last 6 chrs] I have 
restarted NBU, stuck brand new [unlabeled ] tapes in my L180 CAP, 
re-inventoried and netbackup creates the tapes as PPBxxx WITHOUT the 
L2 [Which I want]
