Search the activity log for the past few days with the volume name in the search. You may see that the volume was put into a drive and then found to be mis-labeled, not labeled or in some other way messed up. If that happens, and the volume doesn't get far enough to be used, TSM will mark it private so as not to try to use it again. I've seen this particularly with tapes that are in the library, but not labeled.

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?
