One way is to use query media and move media.
If you have more than one onsite tape pool, most likely at least
one is not used as often. Q medai can show list of tapes in a pool
not accessed in more than x number of days.
Then Move Media moves those tapes out of library. That's

The fastest scratch provisioning in a situation like that is to
delete any Pending volumes.
Where you are constrained for tape space to reclaim volumes within
the library, consider performing a Move Data to the upper disk
storage pool in the hierarchy. (You can always temporarily add a

I used the overflow location once with success when I was in this same
situation. Just long enough to put in some scratch tapes and move data.
I wouldn't recommend it for normal occasions though.
