Change tape status from FULL to FILLING

[cozcol]

Hello,

My backups are failing due to no scratch.

The tapes I have in the library are only 0.3% utilised, so can fit more data on them.

is it possible to change the status of a tape from FULL to FILLING when it is only utilised by 0.3%

Details of the volumes are below. 701, 712, 717 are in question?

No. Do reclamation to get rid of the 0.3% FULL.

You can also do a "move data <VOLNAME> reconstruct=yes" to move that small amount of data onto another tape (probably with FILLING status) and then update the empty volume to scratch.
