Hi Christopher! A q vol only returns storagepool volumes. A scratch tapes are not storagepool volumes. As soon as TSM has written data to them, they become storagepool volumes. Normally you will only see volumes in a full, fillling or a pending state. As far as I know, the empty state you will only see for empty disk or file volumes, which you pre-allocate.

I have a question to why there are no tapes listed as empty. I have 90 tapes in my scratch list but when I do the following command: q volume status=empty , I get a returned message indicating the following: "ANR2034E QUERY VOLUME: No match found using this criteria." I then perform the following command: q volume - to list everything in my volumes and the status of the tapes are either FULL or FILLING. Thanks, Chris. Christopher S.
