Also, in the setup section of your 3583, you must tell it to use 'extended' or 'enhanced' label or barcode checking. Sorry I don't remember where or exactly what, but I do remember we had to set that on our 3583.
We set ours up 'wrong' after an upgrade, and had to change it and re-inventory our library afterward to get TSM to recognize the tapes 'correctly'. -----Original Message----- From: Bill Boyer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 17, 2005 9:15 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: Getting TSM to show the l1 or l2 suffix on tape names Just remember if you change this you will have to re-label all your TSM tapes. This setting effects the barcode reported to TSM...and that's what TSM uses to label the tapes. If you change this setting any/all existing TSM tapes will be unavailable to you unless you change your checkin to CHECKL=YES. This will cause TSM to ignore the barcode and read the internal label.

Assuming that this is an IBM 3583 library (please, please send details when describing a problem): There is a setting on the library front panel to set the tape volume display mode to NORMAL (no L1 or L2 tags) or EXTENDED. I can't remember where it is; you're best off digging up your manual and reading it. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Berbee Information Networks Office 262.521.5627
