And if you're not using DRM, you'll want to manually update the access to 'offsite' for any tapes you check out of the library. Then you can check for any tapes with an access of 'offsite' and a status of 'empty' to build a tape pull list.
When you check them back into the library, update the access to 'readwrite' and TSM will delete them from the storage pool and mark them scratch again.

If you use DRM, it will help handle recovering offsite tapes that are empty. I keep a drawer of scratch tapes. Whenever a tape is 'pending' (I set 3 days for my onsite tape pool, so I can pull and review any tape errors, and I review tapes coming back from offsite when they are in 'vault retrieve' status - and review them before they are put back in the scratch pool when they come in from off site). If the tapes have no errors, I go ahead and put them into my 'scratch drawer'. If they have write errors, they are discarded, and if they have read errors, I re-label them before putting them in my 'scratch drawer' and put a small mark with a paint pen on the tape. If it comes through with 3 marks or more on it, it is discarded too. I hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: Norita binti Hassan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 28, 2004 8:21 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Tape Scratch list Hi, How to produce a daily scratch report so that I can monitor of tapes usage.
