I have a couple of tape volumes which TSM does not use, and I don't
understand why.  The server is 4.1.2 on AIX 4.3.3.  The library is a
Spectra 10000 (AIT BullFrog).  One of the volumes in question is
C20139.  It's only .6% full, but hasn't been touched since last December
12th.  Colocate is "No" for the TAPE storagepool.  Why doesn't TSM continue
to fill this volume and how do I correct the situation?  Thanks for any
insights.
