If you are on a real OS you can mount the tape and dd the first 1024 bytes. Otherwise you can mount the tape and look at the GUI, which should show both the external and internal label. For real OS:
for label in label1 label2 label3 etc do tpreq -m $label [-d density] [-p poolname] -f /tmp/$label dd if=/tmp/$label bs=1024 count=1 tpunmount /tmp/$label done Regards, Patrick Whelan VERITAS Certified NetBackup Support Engineer for UNIX.

Hi, I had get new labels put on some tapes that had incorrect specifications, which caused inventory problems in the past. Even though they are now scratch, if there is a mismatch it will freeze the tape, etc, is there a quick way to check the header on each tape to ensure the label and header match for the barcode ID? If not, I will have to bplabel each one and check for errors I suppose.
