I agree that you're probably best off with the correct labels. If you do
this, however, NetWorker will insist on reading every tape you put in the
library, because the tape it formerly knew as BBH001L3 will now be seen as
BBH001L2.
It will read the tape and recognize the header, so you won't lose any data.
Until you relabel, though, the "Bar code" will be different from the "Volume".
I'm not familiar with the Quantum PX502, but it may have an option somewhere
in its menu system to drop the suffix when communicating with NetWorker.
Again, if you do this NetWorker will reread all the existing tapes.
