Tsm server 6.2.2 running on RHEL v6 with a 3494 library and 8 ts1120 drives.

Was doing some checking on tape inventory and usage for one of our tsm servers.

A 

Select count(*) from libvolumes

Shows 298 volumes in the library.

Checking volhistory for database backup volumes shows 3 tapes in that capacity.

Check of pending volumes shows 1

And summing up all tape pool volumes gives 118.

A 
Select count(*) from libvolumes where status='Private'

Shows 160
And 
Select for scratch volumes gives 137.
 
The upshot is that I have around 40 volumes in the libvolumes table listed as 
private, but not accounted for in the volumes or volhistory?
Audit library ields no errors.

Can I just check these out and re check them in as scratch?

What would account for this.

p.s.

I have the volhist file from the moment the server was placed online.  The lost 
volumes do not appear there anywhere.

Thanks for any help.
