Labeling Tapes

[CA892619]

Hi there,

It's not a problem I've got, it's more of a question.
We've got a tape library with 10 tapes.
When labeling tapes, is there a possibility to start labeling all 10 tapes, and the program works them of one by one.
Now when the program is labeling a tape, a second one can't be queued. An error occures that the device is in use.

Is there a way to label a tape and queue the other 9.

Thanks in advance,
Marc

What do you mean telling 'labeling'?
1. if you mean formatting tapes (preparing for usage) then if your library has only one drive it can format/label only one tape at a time. Tape queuing looks for me like a capability of backup application you use. Post question to management software section of this forum;
2. if you mean applying barcode labels then you should apply them (data labels to data tapes and cleaning labels to cleaning tapes) before inserting tapes into the library

You're right, i just noticed it's in the wrong section. I'm sorry, but thanks for the answer.
