NAME odlabel - Label optical media SYNOPSIS odlabel -vsn vv... -[new | old vv...] [-info] aa...] [-w] [-V] [-erase] eq[:slot:side] AVAILABILITY SUNWsamfs DESCRIPTION odlabel labels the volume in the optical cartridge specified by eq[:slot:side]. eq is the equipment number. If eq is a library, slot is the slot in the library containing the car- tridge. side is the side (1 or 2) of a two-sided cartridge. A VOL (volume) and a PAR (partition) label are written. These labels conform to ISO standard IEC13346. The data portion follows ISO standard TC97SC23. -vsn vv... specifies the volume serial name of the optical disk being labeled (up to 31 characters). If the media being labeled was previously labeled, the VSN must be specified by -old vv.... The "old" VSN is compared with the VSN on the media to assure that the correct media is being relabeled. If the media is not labeled (i.e., blank), -new must be specified to prevent the previous label comparison from being made. OPTIONS -info aa... Specifies the "Implementation Use" string in the label (up to 127 characters). -V Verbose, lists label information written. -erase Erases the media completely before a label is written. This is a security feature that is nor- mally not necessary. Complete media erasure will take a long time to perform since all data in the media is erased. -w Wait for the labeling operation to complete. If an error occurs, it will be reported along with a completion code of 1. All labeling errors are also logged. Note: Canceling a command that is waiting for completion will not cause the opera- tion itself to be canceled.
