matching bar code for volume names
I am working with networker and contemplating providing volumes their dedicated names instead of matching the bar codes with volume names since networker legato gui does offer the bar codes as an attribute on the list as well.
question is how do i disable this feature through cli for networker 7.5.1
and is this practice not recommended (not matching the volume names to barcodes rather match them to type of back such as differencial and full)

i think u misunderstood me
there are physical barcodes....and barcodes are part of the atrributed to be listed in the legato gui so then whats the point in naming the volume the name as the bar code instead if you name it lets say daily differential then it would be more easier to manage when u have the barcode and the type of backup to be displayed ?

hmmm i see u make a good point so when restoring u only see the volume labels not the serial numbers on the CFI ?
if you want better managability create pools
so you will have tape named XYZ123456 belonging to pool DAILY_BACKUPS
and tape XYZ7891011 belonging to pool WEEKLY_BACKUPS
which will allow you easy to identify the type of backup
but it all depends on your configuration

. type: NSR library; name: name_of_your_library
update match barcode labels: no
and you are done
you can put print in between any of those commands to see what are you doing
much easier is to remove a checkbox via GUI in the library property page
