Re: Labelling the tapes in 3590-E11 Jukebox

I have never worked with this particular library but with my current IBM 3575
and other libraries that have a "bulk I/O location(s)" the command is:
label libvol 3575lib1 search=bulk labelsource=barcode checkin=scratch
This will take all tapes in Bulk I/O slots and label them and check them in as
Scratch with the one command/step.
This is IF:
1. You have barcodes on tapes
2. Your ACF or other slot is or can be configured as "Bulk I/O slots"
If you need to for some reason relabel tapes then add to the end of the
command: overwrite=yes
Be VERY careful about this overwrite and make sure search=bulk is in command
because you can actually relabel (WIPE OUT) existing data tapes in library.

Hi
We have RS6000/SP wide node with AIX 4.3.3, Tivoli Storage manager 3.7.0 and
IBM 3590 E11 jukebox. We are planning to use it for Informix database (ver.
7.24 UC 3 on SAP R/3 ver 4.0B) backup. Presently, we are labelling the tape
from priority slot and then do a "check-in". But there is no fun it. We
would like stack 4 tapes in the ACF and label them one by one. Does any one
know how to label the tapes in single step ?
Thanks in advance
