Brian,
Q VOL will show you tapes that are in USE - ie: NOT scratch.
Q LIBV will show you tapes in your library that are SCRATCH and will be
used when TSM asks for a scratch tape.
The pile of tapes on your table next to the TSM server (that dont show up
Q VOL) are your scratch tapes that are not in the library ;-)
