You've likely got a conflict between various tables in your TSM database. (This 
happens occasionally.)

Run an AUDIT VOL <volume_name> FIX=YES on the tape volume. After it completes, 
your tape should become a scratch tape.

Subject: [ADSM-L] Make empty volume a scratch tape

I have performed a move data command on a tape volume which has worked
OK and moved all the data from the tape.

The pct util is 0.0, the tape is in read/write access state and the
volume state is full. How can I make this a scratch tape as it has no
data on it?

The delete vol command fails with a return status of 13. Rather than
waiting a day can I force it to be a scratch tape now?





Thanks & Regards

Paul
