John, Take a look at your SMS rules, what DATACLAS is being assigned to these tapes; and what media-type is that DATACLAS supposed to use. Sounds like your SMS rules are directing the allocation to MEDIA3 cartridges.

We are attempting to switch from 3590J(MEDIA3) to 3590K(media4) tapes but HSM is issuing the messages below. We have ejected all the J media scratches and inserted enough of the K media to at least get through tonight. But it's critical that we figure this out before this weekend.

CBR4105I No MEDIA3 scratch volumes available in library IEE764I END OF CBR4195I RELATED MESSAGES Does anybody know if there is additional work to be done to start using the K tapes, as we were told it was a simple switch? It was very simple to switch to K tapes for the backend of a VTS. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
