We can adjust colours, style, have additional characters or symbols that can be part of the barcode or separate non-barcode characters. Because tape libraries only read the machine readable section, the human readable section is where most of the label customization occurs. L[1-9] which defines the tape as non-worm LTO, and the digit defines the generation level, for example, AA1234L7 would be a non-worm LTO7 tape. The LTO Ultrium custom tape barcode labels are sold in sheets of 20 labels and are customised to your exact needs. When you provide the brand and the model of your tape library, SanSpot selects the right label template for you.

These LTO tape barcode labels allow you to identify each tape individually with a human readable label and a barcode label in one for the library to read. We can also setup labels to reflect the day, week, month or year and the tape number in the group like MON123, WK3DY1, JAN010 or EOFY10.Dumb question, but, the manual doesn't state, and, I didn't get any lables for the cleaning tape (got 200 for data tapes). I did reserve two cleaning slots, becasue I have only 2 cleaning tapes, but somehow I can't see my cleaning tapes om my Netbackup software. For example, if the variable segment is two characters long, no more than 100 labels may be printed per batch if duplicate labels are to be avoided.

This reference guide explains the aspects and features of the LTO label and shows how you can customize your labels to suit your backup and storage needs. However, in most situations some degree of automation occurs through the use of tape libraries and backup software. The tape has a custom barcode, and I was told by Overland support that these barcodes needed to have the prefix CLN.

The LTO consortium comprised of drive manufacturers HP, IBM and Quantum developed this technology to meet the increased midrange and enterprise storage demands analysts predict over the next decade. All the characters in the human readable section (including the media ID) are encoded into the machine readable section. Since this guide explores a vast array of customization alternatives, please not that not all options in the guide may be supported by your particular hardware and software environment. If you configure NBU to do the cleaning, then you can put the cleaning tapes in normal backup slots with backup labels BUT you MUST configure them as CLN_xxx that matches drive density and in NONE pool (as per the link above).

If you have a library or an autoloader and require labels just add your Sequence in the box on the right and let us know if you want them printed Horizontal or Vertical . Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page. For example, the prefix "MKT" could be used for tapes that will be used to backup data from the marketing company, or the prefix "TUE" could be used for tapes that will be used for company-wide backups performed on Tuesdays. I do not make any difference if you let Netbackup clean the drives or uses the robot auto clean feature, either way I strongly recommend in using cleaning barcodes. Labels are suitable for the following tapes: LTO1, LTO2, LTO3, LTO4, LTO5, LTO6, LTO7, LTO7 M8, LTO8 and LTO9 and LTO cleaning tapes.After talking with Veritas tech support, they request me to move the cleaning tapes to the 2nd partiotion which is Libarary_1. The term "color palette" is used to refer to the color scheme used for the characters of the human readable section of the LTO labels. This portion of the human readable section has numeric characters (0-9) and is incremented with each printed label. The PV-136T does not use a cleaning tape barcode and there is no designated slot in the library for a cleaning tape.

The suffix has the same characteristics as the prefix, except that the suffix is placed between the variable segment and the media ID.The robot simply listen to the clean signal from the tape drives (there is a serial connection between the drives and robot) and mount the cleaning tape when "clean" signal is seen. However, as mentioned before, when using tape backup software, you can use a data barcode label and insert the cleaning tape in any slot, but be sure to notify the tape application which slot is the cleaning slot.
