Did you verify whether the defined "empty" tapes are assigned to the correct storage pool? Run a "q vol" on the tapes that you say are empty and verify their assigned storage pool.

But the TSM uses the scratch tapes instead. These empty tapes are in 'READWRITE' stauts and the storage pool defination for the node has maxscratch defined, migdelay=0. Any idea why?
