Preparing tape cartridges
CAUTION:
Handle tape cartridges with care. Do not drop, mishandle, or place them near sources of
electromagnetic interference. Rough handling can damage the cartridge, making it unusable and potentially
hazardous to the tape drives.
Labeling tape cartridges
CAUTION:
The misuse and misunderstanding of bar code technology can result in backup and restore
failures. To ensure that your bar codes meet HP quality standards, always purchase them from approved
suppliers and never print bar code labels yourself. For more information, see the order form provided with
the library, as well as the
Bar Code Label Requirements, Compatibility and Usage
white paper available
http://h18006.www1.hp.com/storage/tapewhitepapers.html
.
NOTE:
For information on ordering tape cartridges and bar code labels, see ”
Attaching a bar code label to each tape cartridge enables the library and application software to identify
the cartridge quickly, thereby speeding up inventory time. When a bar code label is not used, the library
simply designates that tape slot as being full. Even though the library functions without bar code labels,
make it a practice to use them on your tape cartridges. Your host software can use bar code labels to
track the following information:
•
Date of format or initialization
•
Media pool of tape
•
Data residing on the tape
•
Age of the backup
•
Errors encountered while using the tape (to determine if the tape is faulty)
