Hi list,

I want to reuse some tapes that have valid data on it, the data does not 
interest me though. Is there any way I can cause this data to become expired 
and then reuse the tape as scratch (maybe changing mgmtclass parameters and 
using the expire inventory or something like that???) ?? I just want some 
method to clean tapes or at least make them available again for reuse.

Also, 
I have a 3580 DLT3 manual library, single drive, what is the best way to label 
the tapes before using them ?

Thanks in advance.

Mario
