Hi Robin,
that's true, the message goes something like status of volume xxxx blah blah has
changed to private to prevent reaccess,
but the volume has no last use when you do a q libv xxxx < volume> it is just
private, not private  and last use data

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best Regards

Markus,

I've seen that also... I think what happens is TSM tries to use a tape that
has been deleted as a scratch, but encounters a problem of some kind, so it
marks the tape "provate" to prevent it being used again.  If that is the
case, you should see a message in the activity log indicating the
condition.  Do a query of the actlog searching for the tape volser and you
should see the message.

Hi,
thats the thing, there are no records in the volume history, but still
Private
with Data
Seems like a bug to me, or a feature for tape manufactures :-)

To find out what TSM actually did with that volume, you can use this SQL
query:

SELECT * FROM VOLHISTORY WHERE VOLUME_NAME='<volser>'

This will give you a history of how TSM used that tape, and the last entry
is the final status of the volume. If the tapes are truely not assigned to
anything (stgp, dbbackup, backupset, export,...) then just CHECKOUT LIBV
with REM=NO and check them back in as STAT=SCR.

Hi TSMers,
does anybode have an idea on why volumes in a library have a status of
Private
with last use Data
but do not belong to a storagepool. Volumes with a status of private with
no
last use are defect, ie can't read the label.
