Hi Paul,
Please see my reply to Mehdi Salehi.

But you can either specify a media type to a dedicated storage group or you can 
define a dedicated volume to a storage by running "define volume <STGPOOL> 
<VOLUME_NAME>"

Hope this helps.

Ämne: Assign scratch volumes to a device class

Is it possible to assign scratch volumes to a specific device class? We have 
TSM 5.5 with an IBM TS3200 tape library. It has a mixture of LTO4 and LTO3 
tapes in it.

Various processes keep using LTO4 scratch tapes when I direct them to use LTO3 
tapes, and vice a versa.



For example running the command "backup db type=full devclass=lto3class 
scratch=yes" will write to an LTO4 scratch tape if one is available. Similarly 
reclaimation processes on LTO4 tapes will grab an LTO3 scratch tape if one is 
available.







Thanks & Regards

Paul
