Hello,

I'm not sure about the result of "audit library" in that situation,
and specifying meaningful volranges for scratch and private
volumes may be difficult (al least at our site it would)...

What I did in a similar situation: Before upgrading, I produced
a library inventory ("mtlib -l /dev/lmcp0 -qI" from AIX), wrote the
output (which containes the volume name, category and some further
information) into a file, edited each line in that file to become
mtlib -l /dev/lmcp0 -C -V<volser> -t<category>
(replace <volser> by the volume name, and <category> by the original
category), and executed that script after the upgrade.
