Labeling optical cartridges

 

Each optical disk cartridge contains two sides. Each side corresponds to an optical volume. There are two techniques to associate a volume ID label with the correct side of the optical cartridge. This is important to know when you set the write-protect switch.

The optical cartridge should be labeled the first time the cartridge is added to an optical media library. This prevents any confusion in the future when you are attempting to determine which volume goes with which side.

• Labeling a new optical cartridge with uninitialized volumes
  Several steps are necessary to label a cartridge that is new (both volumes are uninitialized). The options are selected from the Work with Optical Volumes display.
• Labeling an optical cartridge with an initialized volume
  To label a cartridge that has at least one initialized volume on it, follow these steps. The options are selected from the Work with Optical Volumes display.
