Media must be inserted into a drive and labeled before they can be
used. The label that must meet the following criteria:
- 6 characters or less
- No embedded blanks or periods
- Valid when used as a file name on the media
- Note:
-
You must label CD-ROM, Zip, or Jaz volumes with the device manufacturer's
or Windows utilities because TSM does not provide utilities to format or label
these media. The operating system utilities include the Disk
Administrator program (a graphical user interface) and the label
command. See Labeling Media.
You can label tapes and optical disks for use in a manual library by
inserting the media into the drive and invoking the Labeling Wizard.
- From the TSM Console, expand the tree for the machine you are
configuring.
- Click Wizards, then double click Media Labeling in
the right pane. The Media Labeling Wizard appears.
- Click Manual Media Labeling in the right pane of the TSM Server
Utilities.
- Click the Start button. The TSM Manual Device Media
Labeling Wizard appears.
- Follow the instructions in the wizard.
- After labeling a tape for a manual library, place the tape on the
shelf. See Labeling Volumes Using Commands.
