I have seen this problem occasionally. The sequence that I have seen is: 1) A process requests a scratch tape 2) The tape is mounted in a drive 3) The drive has some type of hardware error 4) The scratch tape being mounted is marked Private so it won't be used for scratch again 5) Another scratch

I just look for tapes that have a last use of NULL. select volume_name from libvolumes where status='Private' and last_use is NULL It's normally a small list I get back, then I usually do: select * from volhistory where volume_name='' to see what the last status of each volume is. If the status

I would begin with the activity log... Search for strings like "I/O" or "sense", or "label" and then zero in on any errors you see that may indicate why the tapes are being set to private. Were they labelled when you put them in? A lot of us don't trust the pre-labelled tapes and always use TSM's

Couple things... 1. What is the Last Use column for those tapes in a QUERY LIBV? If it's blank, then maybe those tapes haven't been labeled. If TSM tries to read the internal label on the tape and can't, it will put the tape in private status so it doesn't keep trying to use that one. You can also

We've see something similar before. Here's a place to start looking... Run this command to see if you have tapes that are checked in as "private" volumes, but actually have no client data on them. select volume_name from libvolumes where status='Private' and libvolumes.volume_name
