I have a 3575-L32. What color are the "tabs" on the new tapes.
Red, Blue or Green? Are they the same as existing tapes?
If not you may have a higher capacity tape than drive can use.
That's my quick answer. If that's not it then I would suggest
reboot server with TSM and 3575 library and try again.

model - 3575lib
LABEL LIBV 3575LIB LABELS=B CHECKIN=SCR SEARCH=BULK OVERWRITE=YES
This library has been in use for 5 years...maybe longer.
I've never had a problem scratching new volumes before but it just does
not
like these tapes.
I'm painfully aware that 3.7 is NOT the NEW TSM. We've had difficulty
with
IBM and we're working on resolving that issue. The new TSM is on it's
way,
but right now, I have no choice but to fight with the old.
Life's not fair.
I hope this information I've provided is sufficient. Thank you for
responding.

Subject: Re: help - labeling volumes for scratch...
You didn't mention what Make/model of library you have.
Is it 3570 or 3575? All new tapes need to be labeled.
What was the full LABEL LIBVOL command you used?
Has this library been in use for a while and just adding
new tapes or is this a new install? (I know with TSM 3.7.2.0
it isn't new TSM!)

Hello all,
I'm trying to label newly purchased volumes as scratch to enter into
the
library.
I've tried the LABEL LIBV command with no luck.
Thinking that the volumes were already pre-labeled by the
manufacturer,
I
did a regular CHECKIN LIBV command and still no luck.
The tapes are NEW and I'm in a fix b/c I need scratch tapes within my
library.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
I verified that each tape IS NOT write protected but the following
errors
occur...
