You have to do a CHECKIN LIBVOLUME command with the parameters particular to your library. The tape will automatically come back as status=private even if you specify status=scratch because they are still known to have good data if that is really the case.
Now, you are requesting these for a reason. I hope the reason is the primary tapes are in a destroyed state and you need to do a restore volume command for the primary volume(s). Or, you have marked the primary volumes as destroyed because they are and the restore volume command or client restore command you are trying to execute is look for the copypool volumes. If you deleted the filespaces, the data is no longer referenced in the TSM database. The only recourse you have is to backup your current TSM database and restore a previous TSM database backup that still knows about the copypool volumes. Then restore the saved copy of the TSM database before you started the operation. DO NOT DO A DELETE VOLUME xxxxx DISCARDDATA=YES. That is a big hammer that will wipe all the references to the data on the copy pool and primary volumes. The proper action is either do a RESTORE VOLUME of the primary volume that is destroyed or mark it destroyed and restore from the copy volumes as described above. The RESTORE VOLUME basically rebuilds your primary pool back to what it was before. It will put the data on other tapes in the primary pool. Paul D.
