You didn't mention what Make/model of library you have.
Is it 3570 or 3575?  All new tapes need to be labeled.
What  was the full LABEL LIBVOL command you used?

Has this library been in use for a while and just adding
new tapes or is this a new install?  (I know with TSM 3.7.2.0
it isn't new TSM!)

Hello all,
I'm trying to label newly purchased volumes as scratch to enter into
the
library.
I've tried the LABEL LIBV command with no luck.
Thinking that the volumes were already pre-labeled by the manufacturer,
I
did a regular CHECKIN LIBV command and still no luck.
The tapes are NEW and I'm in a fix b/c I need scratch tapes within my
library.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I verified that each tape IS NOT write protected but the following
errors
occur...
