Hi All,

I have a problem to use a brand new scratch tapes. I checked in it by:

>checkin libv 3494_01 sc0655 status=scratch devtype=3590 checklabel=no

and I checked the libvolume, it is showed as scratch tape. And then I start
a DB backup using this new scratch tape, it failed and the tape status was
changed to 'private'.
Any idea what I was wrong?

Here are the actlogs:
