TSM label and LTO RFID

[juliowest]

Somebody told me that for LTO media, the TSM label written with label libv is actually written to the RFID. My understanding is that TSM actually writes the label to an internal tape header. Does anybody know which is actually the case?

Thanks.

That is the case. Confirmed in this technote that shows how to read it from media: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21193760
