DESCRIPTION
The omniminit command initializes a backup medium. During initialization, a
medium is assigned a:

labels can be user defined or generated automatically. By default, Data Protector
automatically generates media labels from the media pool names, unless the Use
barcode as media label during initialization option is selected
in the library properties. This behavior can be changed during the initialization
