On-Site And Off-Site Tape Management - IBM E16RMLL-I - Tivoli Storage Manager Implementation Manual

Checking in tapes in a library with the barcode reader is shown in Example 6-18
on page 242.
If you have a manual library (for example, a single stand-alone 8-mm drive) with
no barcode reader, specify the label you want to use, as shown in
Example 13-34.

Tip: Although Tivoli Storage Manager allows you to use a volume
identification longer than six characters, we strongly recommend that you use
up to six alphanumeric characters for the label (also known as VOLSER or
Volume ID). This should be compatible with other ANSI styled label systems.

13.7.3 On-site and off-site tape management

Detailed information about this topic is provided in Chapter 19, "Disaster
Recovery Manager" on page 589. We simply summarize the process here. The
distinction between on-site data and off-site data copies is a key component to
successfully handling many tape management procedures and one of the key
concepts for Tivoli Storage Manager.
