Dear all,

I am using ADSM v3.1 with HSM and DRM option. Recently ( this half year ) I
found that the consumption of new scratch tape increase abnormally. I have
to initial 180 tapes in only 23 days!!! However, I have check that the
backup volume doesn't have great change. What is the cause of the scenerio?
Will there be any problem in my daily operation so that tapes that have been
initilize cannot be reuse so the consumption of new tapes increase so
significantly? Please help as it is a quite urgent issue as my management
will not invest anymore to buy new tapes if the root cause of this scenerio
cannot be found!!! Thank you very much.
