for the "data" tapes try: "delete volume vol_name discarddata=yes"
once you do that then try to re-label the tape for scratch again.
for the dbbackup tapes you'll have to "delete volhistory" on it.
thanks!.

I have an old tape that was used for a database backup once, that I want to
make a scratch tape of, but it wont work. Can anyone help me with this?
There is no problem if I do it on another tape.

LB6 198ABCL1 Private Data 4,153
LB6 199ABCL1 Private Data 4,165

update libvol lb6 197ABCL1 status=scratch

assigned a status of SCRATCH.
