Hello,

** TSM 4.1 -- AIX 4.3.3.0 -- 3494 Library **

We upgraded our 3590B drives to 3590E1A drives.  We've also started using the 
double density tapes (K).

If I am not mistaken, once the tape has been labeled it will remain at the 
density that it was labeled at.  So, if I labeled a tape with the old 3590B 
drives and the low density tape and this tape gets used and eventually becomes 
scratch again, will it ever be re-labeled at the higher density so that we are 
getting our moneys worth out of our upgrades?

I thought about using a script that would do a 'trap' and watch for tapes 
becoming scratch and then just relabel them at that point.  Anyone been in this 
situation before?

thanks for your time.
