I am assuming this is because it is in volume history as remote.  How

change this and get it checked in as a scratch?

Thanks for any information.

Does the volume still contain data?  If it does, you need to check it in
as private.  TSM will not allow you to check in a tape as scratch if it
is
still defined in the database.

checkin libv LIBNAME VOLNAME checkl=no status=private devt=DEVT

hth,

There is no useful data on the tape - it is gone from the remote TSM
instance.  I could
check it in as private, but then what?  It ultimately needs to be scratch.
