Label a volume
If a volume contains valid NetBackup images, deassign the volume so that it can be labeled.
If you want to label media and assign specific media IDs (rather than allow NetBackup to assign IDs), use the bplabel command.
Note:
If you label a volume, NetBackup cannot restore or import the data that was on the media after you label it.
To label a volume
- Open the NetBackup web UI.
- On the left, select Storage > Tape storage.
- Select the Volumes tab.
- Select a volume that you want to label.
- Select Label.
- Specify the following properties for the label operation.
Media server
Enter name of the media server that controls the drive to write the label.
Verify media label before performing action
Select this option to verify that the media in the drive is the expected media.
To overwrite any existing labels on the media, do not select Verify media label before performing action.
- Select Confirm.
