Mario, Just about a week ago, I had done just that:
1. First delete vol, del vol volume_name discarddata=yes 2. Secondly label the same vol, via the label libv command and checkin as scratch. I hope it works for you.

Is there any way I can cause this data to become expired and then reuse the tape as scratch (maybe changing mgmtclass parameters and using the expire inventory or something like that???) ?? I just want some method to clean tapes or at least make them available again for reuse. Also, I have a 3580 DLT3 manual library, single drive, what is the best way to label the tapes before using them ? Thanks in advance.
