If TSM tried to pull them from scratch to private to use in a pool, and the drive problem happened, then TSM will mark them as Private as to not use them as scratch again. If this is the case, you can just update them back to scratch - "update libvol libraryname volumename stat=scratch" for each tape. This behavior is the same as marking an already in use tape as Unavailable.
