Item |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Slot number |
Displays the number of the slot. |
|
Bar code |
Displays the label obtained from a bar code reader. Bar code information only appears if the robotic library has a bar code reader and a bar code label is on the media. |

Cleaning slot |
Indicates if this slot has been defined as a cleaning slot. See Defining a cleaning slot . |
|
Media label |
Displays the media label as one of the following:
You can edit the media label, which is limited to 32 characters. Editing the label changes the name of the media in the display, but does not write the new label to the media until an overwrite operation occurs. When you edit a media label, try to make it a concise identifier that will remain constant even when the media is reused. You should write this media label on a label fixed to the outside of the physical media. Duplicate labels can be automatically generated. For example, reinstalling Backup Exec or bringing media from another Backup Exec installation could cause duplication in labels. Duplicate labels are allowed, but not recommended. If a bar code is available, and a bar code-equipped device is used, then the media label automatically defaults to that bar code. |
