Jon, You can not check the volume back in as scratch until the information in your volume history file has been deleted for that tape. Use the command
TSM> h q volhist to see more information on using the "q volhist" command. This can be used to identify the tape and then once all the parameters are correct to only bring back the tape in question, you can change the word "query" to "delete" to remove the entry from the volume history file. Once this has been done the tape can be checked back in as ascratch tape. HIH Steve Copper -----Original Message----- From: Martin, Jon R.

I would like to check that volume back in as scratch. I'm having trouble finding the answer. Here is an excerpt from the actlog showing what I have tried. ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: CHECKIN libvolume 3575lib 0ACFB3 status=scratch checklabel=yes ANR8443E CHECKIN LIBVOLUME: Volume 0ACFB3 in library 3575LIB cannot be assigned a status of SCRATCH. ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: LABEL libvolume 3575lib search=yes labelsource=barcode checkin=scratch ANR8816E LABEL LIBVOLUME: Volume 0ACFB3 in library 3575LIB cannot be labelled because it is currently defined in a storage pool or in the volume history file. ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: DELETE VOLUME 0ACFB3 discarddata=yes ANR2401E DELETE VOLUME: Volume 0ACFB3 is not defined in a storage pool. Any tips?
