Yes. You have to label each tape first. Then you have to check the
volume into a library using
checkin libvolume libraryname volname type=private/scratch
Here you decide whether it should be a scratch volume or not.
After that, you define your storage pools and decide how many
scratch volumes they should use (maxscratch option).

After loading a scratch volume the volume gets the private status
and belongs to the storage pool it was chosen from. If you delete
the volume using "delete volume volname discarddata=yes" the
volume becomes a scratch volume again and can be used by any other
storage pool.
Hope this helps,
