Re: Pre-Initialized Tapes - do they need to be labeled?

In our case, where TSM runs on our MVS (actually Z\OS) instance this is
the case. We have never had to go through the label process.
I would question whether it would be so if the library was partitioned.

I am throwing this out the list to get an answer. If you order
"pre-labeled" tapes to use with TSM, does this mean that they do not need
to go through the "label libv" process? This may seem like a silly
question, but we have a customer who want to order pre-labeled (and
barcoded) tapes, but I always thought that meant labeled for use by an MVS
system, not necessarily for use by a TSM system. They are ordering a large
batch of tapes, and if they don't have to be "labeled" with TSM, this could
save them a lot of time. Thanks for any answers to this.
