Hi ,  i am trying to take full DB backup , though  the libraries have enough
scratch volumes ,
 the error is scratch volume request denied .   so  what is this error , the
tapes are not used by any other application .
and suppose they are used , how i can make them availabel  as a scratch
(infact
i am able to make them checkin as a scratch )
but when TSM tries to utilies that TSM turns them as a private .

last time Richards told me to label libvol command to label the volumes ,
but
that is not applicabel for ACSLS libraries .

tsm: TSM>label libvol stk9710 search=bulk  labelsource=barcode
volrange=med400,med415
ANR8494E LABEL LIBVOLUME: An option specified is not valid for ACSLS
libraries.
ANS8001I Return code 3.
tsm: TSM>help ANS8001
ANR2307E No help text could be found for this message: ANS8001.
ANS8001I Return code 11

but all vols are showing as a status scratch from med400 to med415 , or
should
i define volumes in specific
pools that is copypool or tapepool?
