The fastest scratch provisioning in a situation like that is to
delete any Pending volumes.

Where you are constrained for tape space to reclaim volumes within
the library, consider performing a Move Data to the upper disk
storage pool in the hierarchy.  (You can always temporarily add a
spare disk to the top of the hierarchy, if you don't already have one
in the hierarchy, and leave the copy group target as tape,
unchanged.)  You can later let the disk-held data drain down into the
tape pool when you have the tape space.
