Dell NetWorker 19.9 Administration Guide

Using unmatched volume and barcode labels

1. Apply barcode labels to the volumes.
2. Place the volumes with the barcode labels in the library.
3. In the Administration window, click Devices.
4. Open the Libraries folder. The Libraries detail table appears.
5. Right-click the appropriate library, and select Properties. The Properties window appears.
6. Select the Configuration tab.
7. In the Media Management area of the Configuration tab:

   • Select Bar Code Reader.

   • Ensure that Match Bar Code Labels is not selected.

8. Click OK. The NetWorker server uses the next available label from the label template for the volume name. It labels the volumes and records both labels in the media database.
9. Inventory the volumes to ensure that the NetWorker server has the most current volume information.
10. Use Media > Volumes to match the correct volume labels to the barcode labels. Consider making a list of the name correlations.
    NOTE:If the barcode function is enabled, but no barcode label is affixed to the volume, an error message indicates that a barcode label does not exist.
