Hello,

** TSM 4.1 -- AIX 4.3.3.0 -- 3494 Library **

We upgraded our 3590B drives to 3590E1A drives.  We've also started using the double 
density tapes (K).

If I am not mistaken, once the tape has been labeled it will remain at the density 
that it was labeled at.  So, if I labeled a tape with the old 3590B drives and the low 
density tape and this tape gets used and eventually becomes scratch again, will it 
ever be re-labeled at the higher density so that we are getting our moneys worth out 
of our upgrades?

I thought about using a script that would do a 'trap' and watch for tapes becoming 
scratch and then just relabel them at that point.  Anyone been in this situation 
before?

thanks for your time.
