I have noticed that my TSM server will sometimes choose scratch tapes over tapes that are in the filling state. For example, there are 5 tapes that are not full (10% - 80%), but when migration started TSM grabbed two scratch tapes. When I have seen this before I moved the data off the tapes and all was normal again. There are no errors on the tapes and I see nothing unusual. I know this is not very important, but any clues, or is it just a weirdness?
Other info:
No tapes were mounted at the start of migration.
The tapes in question are in the library.
