It is possible, but take it from me because I am experiencing it currently first hand on a 3583, when push come to shove and it will.. IBM only has two "IBM approved" LTO label manufactures (you will have to contact IBM, or contact me directly and I will give you the Critsit manager's name that this info came from for the manufactures names). Your home printed labels or labels purchased elsewhere will be the first place they point their finger at.

If a customer has bought a load of LTO unlabeled cartridges, can he just create his own labels so that the LTO 3583 will read them? If so, do they need to be in some kind of format? If this is not possible, how would TSM work effectively in an environment where the carts are not physically labeled? > > Any answers will be much appreciated, even if its just to one of the questions. > > Thanks all > > John
