I cant remember what its called under tsm but i know there is an option in
which u tell tsm NOT to claim a tape just as dbb tape. Is it possible this
happened and ur dbb tape also containes other data? That would explain why
it doesnt return to scratch.

Thanks, everyone for your replies. I migrated one of the problem TSM
servers to new hardware today (was going to do it anyway), and it seems
to be working fine. I just noticed this problem on one of my HP-UX
servers today, as well, though, and that one's running 5.1. Curiouser
and curiouser...
Etienne, I check all my tapes in as scratch and let TSM take care of
doling them out, so that wasn't it. Good question, though.
Mark, I don't think dbb tapes go into a pool, do they?

Did you perhaps label it and check it in the library as private? I seem
to recall I had similar thing happen with tapes I originally checked in
as
private. They return to their original state.

Do you have a REUSEDELAY setting for your tape pool?
