To use all of the drives, you have to use dsmlabel, which is used outside
of ADSM, and should be in the product's /bin directory:

This program writes labels to storage volumes in preparation for using
them with the ADSM server.  It supports the following arguments:

  -drive=DEVICE[,ELEMENT] Specifies a drive to use, or
      or DEVICE,acsdrvid  specifies a 4 digit ACS drive id.
  -library=DEVICE         Specifies a library device to use,
       or  ACSLS,acsid    or specifies ACS id of a library device.
  -trace=TRACEFILE        Enable tracing to the specified file.
  -overwrite              Allows overwrite of an exiting label.
  -search                 Search library for volumes to label.
  -keep                   Keep labeled volumes in the library.
  -format                 Format media if media supports it.
  -barcode                use the barcode reader to select volumes.
  -help                   Display this information.

At most one library can be specified; if none is specified, you will
be prompted to manually load volumes.

At least one drive must be specified.  If the drive is in a SCSI
library, the drive's element address must be provided as well.
If the drive is in an ACS library, the 4 digit ACS drive id must be
specified, i.e. 0,0,2,1.
The maximum number of drives you can specify is 8.

When the -search argument is used, the program searches for all usable
volumes within the library and attempts to label them.  The -keep
option is forced on in this case, so all volumes remain in the library.
The -barcode option will cause the first six characters of the barcode
to be used as the volume label.
