You probably had reclamations running that freed up these tapes.
They would be in a DRM state of vaultr unless someone had moved
them past that. If they are truly scratch, there is no way to see what
they were. If you do both a "q vol" and a "q drm" for each of
these tapes and get nothing, then there are scratch.
It'a always a good idea to do an inventory comparison between
what *Sm says is in vault and what offsite vendor says. Tapes can
get misplaced for various reasons. For all the automation of *SM,
this part (offsite excahnge) involves many manual steps.
I do an inventory about every two months and only find about 1 tape
out of place.

Yesterday I found 95 tapes in our offsite-location,
which don't belong to any storage-pools.
Normally the only two ways that a tape gets to the
offsite-location is, that it's a copy-storage pool
from our tape-pool, or it's a dbbackup-tape.
In our DRM-Environment there is a setting, which takes
care about the dbbackup tapes, so that they will stay
7 days in the offsite location before the ADSM-Server
wants them to be put back into the system.
Is there a possibility to find out what content is on
this tapes, which don't belong to any storage pools?
Further problem is that our volume-history and
activity-log only covers 2 weeks so in my opinion
there is no easy way to check for tapes to be reused
or for tapes with storage data.
Best regards
Martin Radel
