You can "monitor" the job through the job viewer to get details.  It'll tell
you which tape was mounted for the job.  You can get the drive info after
that using the "vmoprcmd -d ds" command or via the device viewer.

Is there a way we know which drive/tape is running backups for which client.
Legato's nsrwatch is really good at that.

The electronic label (EVSN) is available via the "vmoprcmd -d ds" command.

Is there an easy way (cmdline) to find which tape is in the drive 
for a stand alone tape drive? My goal is to write a quick script 
to expire the images on that tape using bpexpdate -ev, but I need 
to know which one is in there. We have 3 weeks of tapes for this 
test lab environment (one per day), retention set to 3 weeks, 
so the images on the tapes would be expiring about 8 hours after 
the run starts for the night. Not my design -- they just asked me 
to fix it.
