Activating Barcode Support

If a SCSI library device uses media with barcodes, Data Protector can use barcodes by providing the following support:

•Recognition of cleaning tapes with a CLN prefix.

•Reference to media by their barcodes. Data Protector adds the media barcode to the Data Protector media label.

•Quickly scanning the media in the slots of the library repository using media barcodes. This is considerably faster than scanning a repository without the barcode functionality. In the Action menu, click Barcode Scan to scan the library repository for media.

Activate barcode support by selecting the Barcode reader support option from the Control property page of the device. Refer to Figure 2-10 on page 67. For detailed steps, refer to the online Help index keyword “activating barcode reader support”.

All barcodes in a cell should be unique, regardless of the type of media or the fact that there are multiple libraries.
