We are trying to insert a server/pak tape 3592 into our TS3500 library, and the accessor is picking it up without a barcode. We followed the manual (redbook), and the accessor should not pick it up. Do we need to set something in the box? Thank you.
Inserting cartridges without a barcode label You might receive cartridges from a software vendor, another company, or even from IBM that have standard label (SL) formats but no barcode labels. This special situation needs a particular procedure. The following example describes the insertion of a cartridge with an SL of YX0100: 1. First, you must verify that this VOLSER is not defined within a VOLSER range in the TS3500. 2. Insert the cartridge in the entry station. The accessor will not pick the cartridge because of the missing barcode. 3. Use your Web specialist function to select Manage Cartridges → I/O Station. You will see only one cartridge with unknown status. 4. Select the cartridge and select Fix Unknown Volume Serial. 5. Enter VOLSER=YX0100 and the type (JA, JJ, and so forth).
