That's been my suspicion of how tapes wind up as private without a
stgpool.  So I run this periodically (with a tip of the hat to Paul Seay).

select volume_name from libvolumes where
 status='Private' and libvolumes.volume_name
 not in (select volume_name from volumes) and
 libvolumes.volume_name not in (select
 volume_name from volhistory where type in
 ('BACKUPFULL','BACKUPINCR','DBSNAPSHOT','EXPO-
 RT'))

Thanks for the q libr command found out that 400 is my private category.
When I look in my act log I find no references to these volumes & they do
not show up in q vol or q libv.  Any suggestions about there real status?
Could they be volumes that were mounted in a drive when TSM went down?  Also
I tried to check them in they failed on reading the label!
I guess my question is does anybody any reason to NOT recheck them in as
scratch & overwrite the existing label?  Did I miss someplace else to check
the status of these tapes with TSM?

Thanks,
