Re: Ultirum LTO 3 tape's serial number.
Hi, do you want to find the serial number of a tape (cartridge?)?
HP's Library and Tape Tools is a good tool to diagnose and get some information about the library.

Re: Ultirum LTO 3 tape's serial number.
Hi,
The tape cartridges will have a label with bar codes and the details. However it will not show exact serial number.
nnnnnn is the volume serial number (when color coded, it is called volser). The volume serial number must be exactly six alphanumeric (A–Z, 0–9) characters.
• XY is the media ID. These must be alphanumeric.
For eg:
LTO cleaning cartridge: CLNvnnXY
Where:
• CLN denotes that this is a cleaning cartridge.
• v is the drive type (drive manufacturer or universal) (Alpha only A–Z).
• nn is the volume serial number (numeric only 0–9).
• XY is the media ID (or volid = volume ID).

Re: Ultirum LTO 3 tape's serial number.
The link in thread is broken. Here is the new download link -https://assets.ext.hpe.com/is/content/hpedam/documents/4aa6-2000-2999/4aa6-2811/4aa6-2811enw.pdf
Found on this page with other technical technical papers -
https://www.hpe.com/us/en/storage/storeever-tape-storage.html#Resources
Expand the “Resources” section to “Show More”. You should see the document - ‘Bar code and RFID labels for HPE tape automation with HPE bar code labels in a highly effective tape management system technical technical paper’
