Any one have any good tips on controlling the amount of tapes TSM (a.k.a.
ADSM) grabs when it needs a tape?

The manuals recommend setting maxscratch equal to the total number of cells
available, but that leads to a lot of 0.? filling volumes.

I have tried reducing this number, only to have some of the backups fail
with "no more space left in storage pool" messages.  NOT good, when their
really is space available.

Any suggestions appreciated.
