I forgot to mention we aren't using CAP. The tape numbers/range are scatter between systems and we often shuffle tapes between TSM servers as the need arises if we run low/out of scratch tapes. We have a tight budget and can't just go out and buy a 1000 tapes at a time. We usually have between 25-75 scratch tapes per TSM LM server and sometimes have sudden increases of multiple terabytes of new backups.
