First define all your existing scratch volumes to storage pools using
DEF VOL. Then update all your storage pools to have MAXSCRATCH=0. As
currently inuse scratch volumes go scratch, they will return to the
scratch pool but will not be reused. Periodically go back and add
recently scratched tap
I do not think you can change the Scratch flag in the volumes table so the
tape will not go back to the scratch pool. You are going to have to define
the new ones to the pool and as they scratch out add more in.
Sorry, there is not a better answer.
