The tape status is full.  Once a tape is full it will not be written to
again until it is reclaimed.  The value of 30.4% represents the amount of
data on the tape that has not been expired in accordance with the policies
that you have set through the management classes in which you ran your
backups.

If you were to set the reclamation threshold for the storage pool in which
the tape belongs to a value higher than 30, this tape would be reclaimed.
That is the valid data on the tape would be added to another tape in the
same storage pool and the tape would return to scratch/empty and available
for reuse.

I would recommend you start with a reclamation threshold of 40.  If you are
comfortable with that you can make it 50.  Anything higher than 50 is not
often recommended.

The values from a q vol can be a little confusing at first.  The concepts
are well laid out in the TSM administrators reference manual.

Hope this helps
