Description
Enables configuration of the barcodes. A barcode is an 8– or 6–character,
alpha-numeric, unique identifier for a cartridge within the StoreOnce
System. The backup application will normally track cartridges using
barcodes but may also alias the cartridge with another name in its
database. (IBM emulations only support 8–character barcodes.)
By default, barcodes are generated automatically but may be determined
by a barcode template created when the library is created. If using
barcode templates, the barcode template:
• Must be unique and must not start with the letters "CLN" or "DG"
because these combinations are reserved designations for cleaning
and diagnostic cartridges.
• Can have a prefix of up to three alpha-numeric characters, a start
value, and a suffix of up to two alpha-numeric characters.
Any unspecified prefix or suffix characters will increase the length of
the variable field of the barcode.
• Should be a minimum of 6 characters. Valid ASCII characters are A-Z,
a-z, 0–9. Barcodes are always displayed as eight characters with
letters in capitals on the StoreOnce Management GUI and CLI (padded
with space characters) regardless of the size selected. However, if the
number of barcode characters is set to 6, only the rightmost six
characters will be visible to the backup software, that is, barcode
1ABCDEFG will truncate to BCDEFG. (Truncated barcode characters
are shown in brackets in the Cartridges tab.)
You can modify the barcode template after library creation by clicking
Modify Barcode Template on the Device Details tab.
