There is also a vmphyinv command that will mount and scan the tape for
its media ID.  Might want to look into options for it.  As w/ Bobby
Below - anything in your Media Pool that has an incorrect Barcode vs
Media ID is improperly labeled.

This will work, but it will take a while.

Mount each tape that you "suspect" manually into a tape drive.  Run
vmoprcmd on the command line or look at the device monitor in the gui.
It will show both the recorded id and the label.

What is the best way to determine if you have tapes where the internal
label is not matching the external label? I had someone mis label about
19 tapes and I am trying to figure the easiest way to figure what these
tape labels are. Any ideas?

Thanks!
