Nancy, is this because you're shipping the tapes or some such? We've done several tests at Sterling Forest and never needed to do this, but we hand-carry our tapes (about 145, mixed LTO1 and LTO2).
I'd hit up your project manager to come up with an IBM-approved method (the silver marker sounds like the best to me).

We have been asked to add an additional sticker to all our LTO 1 and LTO2 tapes as a unique identifier for the disaster recovery test(about 600 tapes) while at the DR test site besides the barcode label. We will be using a 3584 Library - LTO 2 drives for the recovery test. I talked to our library vendor, who suggested adding the labels to the top of the lto 2 tapes, and that the additional label doesn't pose any problem as long as it isn't a barcode type label and that the label of course is stuck on correctly to the tape. I believe the identifier would be our DR contract number(have to confirm that). Wondering if anyone else has had to do this for a dr test, any issues, recommendations?
