They might be checked in as status=private or stayed private for some reason. You can try UPDate LIBVolume <library> <libvol> STATus=SCRatch
Zlatko Krastev IT Consultant Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: 'q libv' question Hi - List, TSM 4.1.4 runs on AIX4.3.3. I noticed the following when I do 'q libv' recently: Three of the tapes were marked 'Private' under STATUS, but were blank under LAST USE. Usually when a tape is scratched, the LAST USE then becomes blank. A Private tapes is associated with DATA under LAST USE. I did not know how that came about and how to fix it. Any suggestions?
