you can issue a define volume it's what tsm does automatically when it
needs a scratch tape this is just doing it manually... thanks!

Hi list,

What is the procedure and command syntax to define or reserve a definite
pool of new tapes/volumes to a primary storage pool so that when a new tape
is needed, TSM will not grap a tape from the scratch pool.

Thanks in advance.
