We're running ADSM V3.1.1.3 on NT 4.0.

Anybody seen the following scenario which we have experienced a couple
of times:

When issuing a "query libvol" command, a tape is marked as being
"private" and of type "data" when it is not in any storage pools and is
not used as a database backup tape.

As far as I can see, this tape should be marked as "scratch" and when I
use the "update libvol" command to update the status to be scratch it
does so OK.

My point is, anybody know why ADSM does this and has anybody else seen
this?  It seems like a bug to me.

Regards

Phil
