I had the same problem, too may tapes in use for the slots available.
I used to use a script that identified tapes that were (full OR frozen OR
suspended) AND in-library. Those would be ejected and replaced with scratch
tapes. You'll also need something to identify those tapes on your "aging"
shelf that have fully expired are are ready, therefore, to be re-inserted as
scratch tapes.
The first identification requires you combine "bpmedialist -mlist" & vmquery
output respectively. The second is just vmquery.
I'll rummage my old scripts and see what I can find -- or search the
archives, I'm sure they're there somewhere.

I have an STK L180 that holds over 100 tapes. A lot of our backups have long
retention periods and need to be moved out of the silo for long term
storage.
What are other people using to manage what comes and goes when?
