How to put internal label on tapes without barcodes in a robotic library
Hello,
I'm trying to internally label some tapes that don't have barcodes on them.
They are in a StorageTek robotic library (which is /dev/rmt/0). I'm running NB 6.5 on Solaris 10.

Did robtest actually work when you used it to move the tape into the drive?

Why do you want to use unlabelled tapes in a robot with a barcode reader? Not having barcodes just causes uneccessary headaches...
