The typical cause is the tapes were not labeled.  You checked them in, but
you should have done a LABEL LIBVOLUME ...... CHECKIN=Scratch.  Just check
them back out and do the LABEL command.

This is the normal action TSM takes to get a bad tape marked for no reuse
when it is  not labeled.

Hi Tsmers,

I have a problem with my tapes in the LTO 3583 library. I checked in three
scratch tapes for my weekly backup schedule and they are now marked private.
The problem is, there is no data in these tapes they are empty. Anyone who
has had this before or know the solution to it.

Thank you in advance.
