I have a stand-alone tape library and need to ensure that I utilize barcodes from the get go. How do I add them for each tape?

To add media identifiers to media that are associated with stand-alone drives:

1. Make sure that new media is loaded into the stand-alone library drive.

2. From the CommCell Browser, right-click the appropriate stand-alone library, and then click Stamp Media.

3. In the Stamp Media dialog box, enter the barcode number or a unique identifier for the media.

4. Click OK.

A message appears that tells you that the stamp media was successful.

5. Click OK.

The media is listed in the Default Scratch pool.
