Some Tapes are private, that is OK, but as the administrator I think they 
should be Scratch. I can't change the status
to Scratch with: update volume 
As far as i understood TSM thinks that there is still Data on that tape that is 
in use. 
I have already asked the maillinglist how I could view the content of a tape, 
the answer was q con "volume", but this is only true 
if the volume would be defined as a Storagepool:
q con akz912l1
ANR2401E QUERY CONTENT: Volume akz912l1 is not defined in a storage pool.
ANS8001I Return code 11.

this this information may be useful

So how can i view the content of that tape?
How can i get a constant view on the tape usage?
