Hello Sean,
Are you using the label libvol command for brand new tapes or existing ones?
I have had some tape problems in the past where I had to redefine the volume
of the tape that was scratch to a private volume to get tape checked into
the library. If I checkin a bulk of tapes and some are assigned as private,
the checkin command will fail because it cannot assign the private tapes if
my checkin command is set for a status of scratch. I want all of the copy
pool tapes to be accessed as scratch, but now that I have around 5 private
volumes these have to be assigned private during checkin process.  I would
like to avoid the mix and stay standardized. Will the label libvol command
revert say for example a private copy stgpool tape back to a scratch tape or
will I have to delete the volume? I know their is an update libvolume
command that will change a sequencial access volume to scratch, but I'm
working with copy pool volumes that will go offsite. I wish there was a way
to avoid the move drm command also because it seems to give me some problems
during checkin and checkout. Do you have the command line syntax for the
label libvol command if this will solve my problem.
Thanks Sean. Any responses from *SMers welcome.
Kye
