Hi,
I have help to ask with regards to barcode labels. I will have to label our expired media/tape (LTO5) from our tape libray to new barcode label ex T15XXX. The default media id label by the system is the A00001 for example. Do I need to set a barcode rule so everytime a new tape will be inserted to our library with the new barcode label, it will automatically read/scan it? Or I can just do vmchange -barcode <barcode> -m <media_id>
ex. vmchange -barcode T15XXX -m A00001
In doing that, I have to eject first the tapes I need to re-label to new barcode then put back in library and do inventory robot update volume config? So it will read/scan now the new barcode label and will not see the default A00001 media id before?
I have several tapes in our library that has expired and will use this as a monthly tape backup. All are with the defaul media id label A0000? As soon as I have used them all, new tapes will be purchase with new barcode labels. Our tape library has barcode reader/scanner.
Thanks and Regards
