Ok so you have the maxscratch setting correct. Have to checked/labeled the tapes into the TSM server?
Do a "q libvol" on the TSM server and see what scratch/private tapes listed. If there are none in the status of Scratch, that would be the issue. When you checked in the tapes, you should have used "status=scratch". If you mistakenly checked them in as Private volumes, TSM will never use them for the scratch pool. You will want to check them out and back in as scratch volumes. My best guess...

The Tape library is 3582 and 2 Ultrium II drives.I have barcode reader as well. ANR1405W appeaars whereas my there are scratch volumes availble and maxscratch=500 for LTOPOOL1 is also set. TSM continues to say that i have no scratch volume untill i assign one to stgpool. As i know, this all happens automatically that scratch tape is assigned to stgpool and used automatically. I have searched all the archives on ADSM list and all say that i need to increase maxscratch or install latest patch. I have installed latest maintenance 5.2.6.0 too, but no result .. The problem that is something i could not understand as i have already used TSM for a long time and afew installtions. I am stuck ! Thanks in advance!
