Our LTO 1 & 2 tape labels have 8 characters, ie: NN5131L1 or 000152L2. When we still used out 3583 library TSM reported the full label, ie: all 8 characters. Now that we're using an ADIC 1sk TSM reports only the 1st 6 characters of the labels. Originally I thought I'd set up TSM incorrectly but TSM UK Support told me that it's the library that can or can't read the full barcode label not a setting in TSM. Our tapes are auto-labelled in TSM from the barcode.

I have seen TSM nevertheless end up with volsers having 7 digits - where the fumbling fingers of the administrator so typed such a volser into a TSM command. (I can't remember which command; and as you may appreciate, I am loathe to try to reproduce that situation. :-) Look back in your Activity Log history to see what action introduced this anomaly.
