        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:
