Is the tape in "readonly" or "Offsite" status? I found that tapes will not
scratch unless they are in "readwrite" status.

Subject: bad tape


Hello everyone!

I have a weird situation and I wasn't quite sure what to do.  I have a bad
tape that is vaulted.  It has 0 data on it, but it won't delete from TSM.
The reuse delay is way past expiration, so it isn't being held by that.
Does anyone have any suggestions?  Thanks!!
