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.

L3 is LTO3 tapes and

Yes you did get LTO2 labels.

I just noticed this on our Quantum PX502...
All our tapes are LTO Ultrium 3. We have stick-on barcode labels
supplied by Quantum in two ranges - BBHXXX and LNIXXX.
All the LNI tapes labelled automatically in Networker with their
barcodes, with L3 appended.
All the BBH tapes so far have L2 appended.
Does the L2 vs. L3 have any meaning? Did I somehow get LTO-2 labels? Am
I only getting LTO-2 performance/capacity?
Just want to be sure before I start using the BBH tapes extensively.
