.SH "NAME"
amlabel - label an Amanda tape
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP 8
\fBamlabel\fR [\-f] \fIconfig\fR \fIlabel\fR [slot\ \fIslot\fR] [\-o\ \fIconfigoption\fR]...
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
All
\fIAmanda\fR
tapes must be pre\-labeled before they are used\.
\fIAmanda\fR
verifies the label in
\fBamdump\fR
and
\fBamflush\fR
before writing to make sure the proper tape is loaded\.
.PP
\fBAmlabel\fR
writes an
\fIAmanda\fR
label on the tape in the device specified by the
\fIamanda\.conf\fR
file in /usr/local/etc/amanda/\fIconfig\fR\.
\fILabel\fR
may be any string that does not contain whitespace and that matches the
\fIamanda\.conf\fR
\fBlabelstr\fR
regular expression option\. It is up to the system administrator to define a naming convention\.
.PP
\fBAmlabel\fR
appends the new tape to the
\fItapelist\fR
file so it will be used by
\fIAmanda\fR
before it reuses any other tapes\. When you
\fBamlabel\fR
multiple tapes, they will be used in the order you
\fBamlabel\fR
them\.
.PP
\fBAmlabel\fR
will not write the label if the tape contains an active
\fIAmanda\fR
tape or if the label specified is on an active tape\. The
\fB\-f\fR
(force) flag bypasses these verifications\.
.PP
An optional
\fIslot\fR
may be specified after the tape label\. If a tape changer is in use,
\fBamlabel\fR
will label the tape in the specified slot instead of the currently loaded tape\.
.PP
See the
\fBamanda\fR(8)
man page for more details about
\fIAmanda\fR\.

.RE
.SH "EXAMPLE"
.PP
Write an
\fIAmanda\fR
label with the string "DMP000" on the tape loaded in the device named in the
\fBtapedev\fR
option in /usr/local/etc/amanda/daily/amanda\.conf:
.sp
.RS 4
.nf
% amlabel daily DMP000 
.fi
.RE
.PP
Label the tape in slot 3 of the currently configured tape changer with the string "DMP003":
.sp
.RS 4
.nf
% amlabel daily DMP003 slot 3 
.fi
.RE
.SH "MESSAGES"
.PP
label \fIlabel\fR doesn\'t match labelstr \fIstr\fR
.RS 4
Label
\fIlabel\fR
on the command line does not match the
\fIlabelstr\fR
regular expression
\fIstr\fR
from
\fIamanda\.conf\fR\.
.RE
.PP
label \fIlabel\fR already on a tape
.RS 4
Label
\fIlabel\fR
is already listed as an active
\fIAmanda\fR
tape\.
.RE
.PP
no tpchanger specified in \fIpath\fR , so slot command invalid
.RS 4
The command line has the
\fBslot\fR
parameter but the
\fIamanda\.conf\fR
file in
\fIpath\fR
does not have a tape changer configured\.
.RE
.PP
reading label \fIlabel\fR, tape is in another amanda configuration
.RS 4
This tape appears to be a valid
\fIAmanda\fR
tape, but label does not match
\fBlabelstr\fR
for this configuration so it is probably part of a different
\fIAmanda\fR
configuration\.
.RE
.PP
reading label \fIlabel\fR, tape is active
.RS 4
Tape
\fIlabel\fR
appears to already be part of this
\fIAmanda\fR
configuration and active, i\.e\. has valid data on it\.
.RE
.PP
no label found, are you sure \fItape\fR is non\-rewinding?
.RS 4
While checking that the label was written correctly,
\fBamlabel\fR
got an error that might be caused by mis\-configuring
\fIAmanda\fR
with a rewinding tape device name instead of a non\-rewinding device name for
\fItape\.\fR
