Hi Eliza , We have 4 onsite pools and 2 copypools.I have defined our K tapes to all onsite pools as private .J tapes are still scratch. TSM use only K types for onsite operations , copy storage pools operations use only scrach volumes and they all are J tapes.

There is only one scratch pool and tapes are allocated from this scratch pool as needed when the primary tapepool is backed up to the offsite tapeback. Is there a way to define 2 scratch pools and allocate primary tapes from the Kscratch pool and offsite from the Jscratch pool?
