Hi,
your tape has some expired data on it, no longer in use. It was once
full, now there are some holes on the data. Once utilisation drops below
your reclaim treshold for this storagepool, tsm will reclaim te tape,
writing left-over data to another tape, setting this tape to pending for
a few days, then making it a scratch volume again.
