If they are Dell servers, you could always name each host in their BIOS so it shows up on the display of the host. -Mike On Thu, Feb 16, 2012 at 1:15 PM, Leo Bicknell <bicknell@ufp.org> wrote:

ok, this is horribly pragmatic, but it's real. yesterday i was in the westin playing rack and stack for five hours. an horrifyingly large amount of my time was spent trying to peel apart labels made on my portable brother label tape maker, yes peeling the backing from a little label so remote hands could easily confirm a server they were going to attack.
The Brother I have that takes "M" tape has the problem you describe, it's nearly impossible to get the backing to separate from the label.
I have another Brother that takes "TZ" tape, the backing of the tape of slit down the middle lengthwise. Gently curling the tape by squeezing it causes the middle to pop open, easy to grab.
You can guess which one sits on the shelf, and which one gets used a lot.
The TZ tape unit I use is a P-Touch 1100QL, I don't think it's made anymore but there are several similar curent models.
