If it is a manual library (i.e. a bare tape drive) you still have to label and "check in" tapes as scratch. Then TSM will request you to unmount the full tape and mount a particular scratch tape. You can run "mountmode" console which will display the messages.

The volumes have to be already labelled & checked into the library as SCRATCH volumes. Then, TSM will automatically mount a SCRATCH volume and proceed with the data write. If not you will have numerous insufficient space errors in the activity log. Thanks, Demetrius A.
