We too have found the same, using stk and adic libraries when labelling direct from bulk.
A way round is to checkin the new volumes from bulk, with checklab=no, then use checkout libv <tsn> checkl=n rem=n on the volumes, followed by a label libv search=y labels=bar. Sounds cumbersome, but the checkouts only take a few seconds when using dsmadmc. regards, -=Dave=- -- +44 (0)20 7608 7140 A BANDAID!?

I have even tried using a volrange and multiple commands and still only one runs. The others wait until it is complete. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Benjamin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, March 24, 2002 8:16 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Utilising drives while labelling 3584 During a tape labelling process (we are in the process of filling the library with new tape): "checkin libvol 3584LIB1 search=bulk checkin=scratch labelsource=bar" Causes the unit to load one drive only, the robot waits for this label process to complete then checks the tape in, one at a time. This seems wasteful considering I have 5 available drives. Interesting behaviour, can I alter it? I want the unit to simultaneously load all available drives if possible, label then place the tapes in the slots. We migrated off a 3575-L18 unit with only 2 x 3570 drives.
