We just upgraded our drives to H-models and you don't have to relabel any of the scratch tapes. They will immediately start writing 384 tracks.

After the upgrade we have only H-models in the library with "J" and "K" tapes. We will change the access to READONLY for all filling,full tapes. My question concerns the scratch volumes. In my opinion it isn't necessary to relabel the scratch tapes with 384-tracks. The VCR will do that with the first mount on the H-drive automatically. I'm right or ???
