Taking a different approach and avoiding the IO slot I have put 5 new tapes into the left cartridge.
I then ran the command: label libvol lb1.1.0.3 search=bulk labels=barcode checkin=scratch The same error appeared in the activity log: 11/08/2006 16:06:38 ANR0984I Process 596 for LABEL LIBVOLUME started in the BACKGROUND at 16:06:38.

(SESSION: 7295, PROCESS: 596) Is this the correct command for what I am trying to do?
