Nazir The tape status is full. Once a tape is full it will not be written to again until it is reclaimed. The value of 30.4% represents the amount of data on the tape that has not been expired in accordance with the policies that you have set through the management classes in which you ran your backups.
If you were to set the reclamation threshold for the storage pool in which the tape belongs to a value higher than 30, this tape would be reclaimed. That is the valid data on the tape would be added to another tape in the same storage pool and the tape would return to scratch/empty and available for reuse. I would recommend you start with a reclamation threshold of 40. If you are comfortable with that you can make it 50. Anything higher than 50 is not often recommended. The values from a q vol can be a little confusing at first. The concepts are well laid out in the TSM administrators reference manual.

Why is it happening?? What should i do to solve it?
