What error are you getting? Something like "out of space in stgpool xxxxx"?
Check the properties of the storage pool; look at the MAXSCRATCH parameter.
TSM will never grab more scratch tapes than you have specified there.
Just bump the number up.

Subject: TSM not grabbing scratch volumes as needed
Something's wrong.
Normally, when one of the storagepools runs out of filling tapes, and
an operation is run that requires a filling tape, TSM will usually
grab a scratch volume and use it.
It is not doing that anymore for any of our storage pools. We have to
manually define a scratch volume to a storage pool. E.g., "def v
restorepool 000116"
Why is this happening? And how can we fix it?
We are runnning TSM 4.1 on an AIX 4.3.3 box.
