Betreff: Scratch Tapes

Good morning.

I have a question on scratch tapes and how/when they are used.

We are using TSM 5.2.2 with AIX 5.2.

We have around 225 LTO2 tapes in the library of which about 60 are used.

The are numbered from TS2000 - TS2225.

For some time the lower numbered tapes were regularly reused as they became 
available(scratch from off-site) or reclamation of on-site tapes.

Lately TSM seems to be picking the tapes that have never been used and the 
lower number tapes don't seem to be selected.

How does TSM determine what scratch tape to use?

I just want to make sure it is not stopping using certain tapes in the library.

They appear fine and are listed as "SCRATCH" in the library.

Just noticed and figured I would ask before I ran into any problems.
