Assume you have several iSeries systems.
Some has stolen one of your tapes with LIBxxx objects (files, etc). Restores it to a different system. Modifies some / much of the data, then does a SAVLIB.

If the case arrives, ... Can you positively, strictly, identify that tape as being NOT-one-of-ours-for-sure?

e.g., by means of dumping control blocks at the beginnig of the tape, or any other similar ways.
I guess System's SYSNAME or SerialNo. are not kept in the tape's data control blocks.
And, even if it is, can you strictly prove "it-is-NOT-our-tape"?

TIA
