Try auditing the volumes. If they are offsite, you will have to make them readonly or readwrite. We have had volumes like these before - it doesn't even mount the tape, it just fixes something in the database.

Hello, TSM 5.1.6.2 running on AIX 5.1 ML04 I have 3 LTO2 volumes, which belong to a copypool and they currently are in vault state. Pct Util on 2 of the volumes is 0 and 1 of them is 0.1. When I query contents on any of these 3 volumes I don't get anything on them. I would like to use these 3 volumes as scratch. Would delete vol with discarddata=yes and then checkin these volumes as scratch be the correct method or can anyone suggest me a better way to use these tapes as scratch. Thanks in advance. Kamran H.
