You have had a glitch with your library that has caused TSM to move an empty scratch tape into the 'private' category without putting data on it. This could have been caused by technical difficulties, or by someone checking in a scratch tape with status=private (instead of status=scratch). Run upd libv 3494lib1 I01448 status=scratch If it is truly an empty tape (doesn't belong to a storage pool, and isn't a db backup tape), it'll flip to scratch status. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Berbee Information Networks Office 262.521.5627
