I agree with Ibán.

About your issue, at first, be sure that you have defined the scratch pool you 
want to use in your elm.conf file. It must match with the one you have assigned 
your tapes to.

If you want to make a try and bypass TSM/elm.conf, use the acsls_mountscratch 
located in the util directory.

Christophe.

Kurt is wrong...

When you are using EDT, there are some TSM commands that do not work with an 
external library, that the case with, checkin, checkout, and label commands for 
example.

In your case TSM will not know anything about scratch tapes.

The only thing that you have to do is to assign those scratch tapes in the 
corresponding ACSLS pool.

When TSM needs a tape, it will demand to EDT a tape, then  EDT, will do 
automatically the labelling of the tape, and then share the label with TSM. 
Then this volume will be a part of the stgpool that is needing the volume.

EDT will also run the set scratch command on ACSLS, and set the flag to data or 
scratch when is needed.

In a EDT environment, TSM do not know anything about the scratch tapes. TSM 
will ony knows about private tapes -> the tape it owns. EDT will do the rest.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Ibán.-

Hi,

The scratch tapes are now in the ACSLS database inventory, but TSM does not 
synchronize the library inventory in it's own database with the ACSLS inventory 
automatically.

Just run the command:

'checkin libv LIBRARY_NAME search=yes status=scratch checkl=no'

to add the new scratch tapes to the TSM library inventory.

Best regards,
Kurt

Ps. I'm not using Gresham software, but I don't think it changes anything to 
the scenario.
