It's not normally a CA-1 caused problem. This is "normally" caused when tapes are added to the VTS and you forget to update the ROBTY and VENDOR fields so tht when a tape is used (and scratched) that CA-1 can tell the VTS and OAM that it's again available.
Someone always forgets to do this at most sites when they add tapes, and it isn't a problem right away because it takes a while for the tapes to come up and be reused.
