Just inserting them into a drive should be enough.  After they're in,
look at vmoprcmd -d ds on the media server that sees that drive.

The ExtMID is the External Media ID - supplied via the robot's interface
- the RecMID is the on-tape media ID - it's the from the header info. 

When you find it, just match the paper tape back to the tape label.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Active Tapes Had Bar Codes Removed

Hi all, I'm brand-new to the list, and apologize that I don't have time
for introductions before I have to get down to business.

One of my Operators mistook three active tapes for scratch, pulled the
labels off, and inadvertently mixed them in alongside 23 other
label-less tapes.

Is there any way for me now to be able to read the internal label of
these tapes, without the bar-codes?  I have the stickers, but they don't
stick so well anymore (afraid they'd fall off in the library), and
regardless would prefer not to have to try them on all 25 tapes.

Again I apologize for barging onto the list like this, but I promise I'm
not a horrible person (matter of opinion I suppose), and that Ill
contribute where possible.

Thanks!
Jay
