Hi guys!
I never used the maxscratch value for our VTL libraries, but I'm just wondering 
how it works.
>From the TSM Reference manual:

MAXSCRatch
Specifies the maximum number of scratch volumes that the server can request for 
this storage pool. This parameter is optional. You can specify an integer from 
0 to 100000000. By allowing the server to request scratch volumes as needed, 
you avoid having to define each volume to be used.

What is meant by scratch volumes here? The total amount of scratch tapes when 
you start with an empty TSM server or the amount of scratches in the current 
situation?
For instance, I have a server with 4000 private tapes and 1000 scratch tapes. 
Should I set it to 1000 or 5000?
Thanks for your help in advance!
Kind regards,
Eric van Loon
