Hi Michael, Could you please retransmit the exact sequence of commands you tried. I'm getting confuse by your "label" and existing tapes.
usually when no tapes are present in the catalog we use label barcode pool=Scratch storage=XXX slots=01-99 when tapes exists and are exported imported a command like update slots renew the slots records. so maybe you can share the list volumes for your pool where the tapes If you already have tape records in the catalog that might be the reason we see ``` Media record for Slot 1 Volume "100002" already exists. ``` You then need to delete the volume, but also reset (blank) the tape with mt weof before retrying to label the volume.
