Subject: [ADSM-L] Tape Erasure


From searching the archives, it seems that TSM does not have a tape
erasure ability, but must be done outside of TSM.  I understand TSM, and
that there is little to no need to erase a tape, but of course,
management doesn't always understand or believe that.  Has anyone solved
this problem, made it an automatic process when a tape is scratched?
Thanks for any input.
