We use this (from dsmc): First we make sure that all tapes in the library are checked in to tsm: checkin libv ZITLIB1 search=y checklab=bar status=scratch checkin libv ZITLIB1 search=y checklab=bar status=private Then we put the tapes to be labeled into the library. Then we issue the label command: label libv zitlib1 search=yes checkin=scratch overwrite=yes volrange=aaaaaa,bbbbbb With search=yes only only tapes not checked in are labeled. With volrange we specify the labels of our volumes. For example volrange=000209,000240. The volser is read from the barcode label. Only volumes within the range are labeled. The overwrite=yes specifies to overwrite whatever ist at the tape before. The labeled volumes are checked in as scratch.
