The Scalar 50 is a multi-media library, meaning multiple drive and tape
cartridge types can be present in a single library. Barcode labels are
attached to each tape cartridge to differentiate the different tape cartridge
types (SDLT, LTO, and cleaning cartridges).
The LTO cartridge label has eight characters (e.g. AAANNNL#). The first
six characters are called the volume identifier which is made up of three
alpha characters and three numeric characters. These characters allow
each cartridge to have a unique identifier. The last two characters are
called the media identifier and indicate the following media types:
• L1 = LTO generation 1 (LTO)
• L2 = LTO generation 2 (LTO-2)
• L3 = LTO generation 3 (LTO-3)
• L4 = LTO generation 4 (LTO-4)
Adhesive-backed barcode labels are used on LTO tape cartridges. Refer
to
for proper label placement, write protection settings and
insertion orientation.
Note:
You cannot choose the sequence of labels inside the bar code
label packs. No two packs are ever the same to avoid issues
with duplicate bar code IDs.
