Mario,

Just about a week ago, I had done just that:

1. First delete vol, del vol volume_name discarddata=yes
2. Secondly label the same vol, via the label libv command and checkin as
scratch.

I hope it works for you.

Regards,

Kamran

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
