I have a client that wants to start using WORM tapes for specific nodes/data. 
They are TSM 5.4.2.0 on Winders2003 SP2, 3494 library
and 3592 (TS1120) drives. Reading the manuals/redbooks it seems to activate 
this:

- Change WORMSCRATCHCATEGORY= on the library definition
- Create a DEVCLASS with WORM=YES
- Create my stgpool(s) to the new WORM devclass
- Checkin WORM media (JR, JW)

What just isn't connecting is how does TSM know a regular scratch tape from a 
WORM scratch tape? When I insert tapes in the 3494
they go in to the insertion category and then checkin "claims" those volumes 
for TSM. Does TSM and the checkin command recognize the
JR/JW and assigns them to the WORMSCRATCHCATEGORY?

And is there a way to identify which are WORM scratch tapes vs. regular scratch 
tapes? We have scripts in TOR that alert when the
scratch tape count drops below a minimum.

TIA,
Bill Boyer
