Mike, The unsupported TSM command
dsmadmc SHOW SLOTS <library_name> -id=admin -password=<password> will normally show the slots, element numbers, and barcodes. However, I've notice that it sometimes shows barcodes and sometimes doesn't, just as the lbtest utility. I've never discovered what the difference is when it works. Do you need to include volumes that aren't checked into TSM? If not, Q LIBVOL will show the barcode and home element number of each volume that is checked into the library via TSM, although it doesn't show the slot number or tapes that aren't yet checked in.

I'm able to see the barcodes one at a time, using the Remote Management Unit (web interface), but I'd prefer a comman-line approach. Using tapeutil (under Solaris) doesn't quite cut it, unless there is something I'm not seeing. The command: tapeutil -f /dev/rmt/1smc -o inv reports all the cells, and whether media is present, but not the barcode label. Any suggestions? Thanks, Mike
