What is the access setting on the tape, is it READWRITE? And is status FULL or 
FILLING?

Subject: [ADSM-L] strange tape handling

Tsm server 6.2.4 on RHEL 6

Tape storage pool on ts1120 tapes, collocation set to group.

Node libprint does not belong to any group.  Its data is now on two volumes.
First volume has estimated capacity 1 tB.
It is 1.4% full.

This morning, tsm was migrating its data from disk pool to tape.  It pulled 
another scratch to store systemstate data even though the original volume was 
only  1.4% full as stated above.

What is up with this.  This is causing my scratch tapes to be eaten up to no 
purpose.
