This is actually a good way to do things. Your volume use stats in TSM are
discarded when a volume is set back to scratch, but if it's defined to a
stgpool, you can track its number of usages, number of errors, etc., over
time.

I agree with the other comments mode so far on this, you can't keep
track of ALL volumes. There is one thing you can do to help some
though. Instead of having just a batch of SCRATCH volumes, you
can assign emopty violumes to a specific STGPOOL with the DEF VOL
command. I haven't used but I believe they won't go back to scratch
when empty and you may be able to query them with Q commands.
This would only be if you can reasonably know how many volumes are
needed for each of your SEQ STG POOLS. You would still need some
as SCRATCH for DB BACKUPS, I don't think they can be assigned.
Just another thought.
