Hello,

We have a disaster recovery test scheduled soon for IBM Sterling Forest,
NY site.   We have been asked to add an additional sticker to all our LTO
1 and LTO2 tapes as a unique identifier for the disaster recovery
test(about 600 tapes) while at the DR test site besides the barcode label.
   We will be using a 3584 Library - LTO 2 drives for the recovery test. I
talked to our  library vendor, who suggested adding the labels to the top
of the lto 2 tapes, and that the additional label doesn't pose any problem
as long as it isn't a barcode type label and that the label of course is
stuck on correctly to the tape.   I believe the identifier would be our DR
contract number(have to confirm that).

Wondering if anyone else has had to do this for a dr test, any issues,
recommendations?

TSM Version 5.2.3.5
Operating System - AIX 5.3 Mod 2
ADIC I2000 Library -LTO 2 drives

Thank You.
