Hi,

        I seem to have a problem with some of my 'copystoragepool' tapes.
Whenever i check out these tapes, I update the volumes as access=offsite,
but it seems that when the original tape expires, they do not. See below for
an example. SA2_006 already has 0.0% Pct Util and has a volume status of
'Empty' but when I tried to check the tape in a scratch volume, TSM does not
allow me to do it. Can anyone suggest a solution? I'm out of scratch volumes
already. Not a good thing. :-(

Thanks in Advance.



Volume Name                  Storage         Device         Estimated
Pct      Volume
                             Pool Name       Class Name      Capacity
Util      Status
                                                                 (MB)
