You can also self-generate and print Ultrium barcode labels from the
following web site (using Avery labels):
http://tapelabels.librelogiciel.com/
It contains options for volume prefixes, ultrium generation suffixes, etc.
I used this to generate labels for the TS2900 we just got and it worked
great (with some fine tuning of the vertical label offset field).

I'm not sure what you mean about "round robin" but the system will have
to mount each tape and read the header to determine the tape inventory.
Usually once the inventory is done the database on the tape library will
keep track of what tape is where, until you do anything that will cause
a re-inventory. That can be any one of a number of things. Suffice it
to say the inventory process will take /a really long time/!!
It's cheaper and faster to get the bar codes on the tape. You can get
them over night from CDW and a couple of other vendors. I suggest you
call CDW rather than try to order them from the website.
BTW: Check to be sure there is a bar code reader on the tape library
first. Often times that is a optional feature as is the RMU (Remote
Management Unit)

We have recently installed one of these devices, currently do not have

barcode labels on the tapes. How are the tapes controlled to perform a
round robin once I5/OS commands are used against a loaded tape volume.
