Re: 'q libv' question
Greetings Chuck, Sometimes when we have problems with labels we get tapes marked private. Also we have the rare tape that should have been released back to the scratch pool that just doesn't get updated for some reason after reclamation. I 'q contents' just as a double check that the database really doesn't have anything on the tape, check the database backups to make sure it isn't a mislabeld member of that set, then 'update libvol $lib $tape status=scratch'. - Kai.

Re: 'q libv' question
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. Kelly J. Lipp Storage Solutions Specialists, Inc.

Re: 'q libv' question
If the tape has been ejected from the library and reinserted this will happen. I also seem to remember this happening when a tape is empty and has a reuse period in the stg pool causing this. The tape is private because it is still in the pool and can be reused but the last use is cleared to reflect nothing on the tape. Paul D.
