Hello, If you use DRM, follow the steps below:
If the database tapes are in status MOUNTABLE, you need to checkout those tapes, after the checkout the tapes will become VAULTRETRIEVE immediately. For some reason DB-tapes that are in the library will NOT become SCRATCH automatically. You need to checkout/checkin those tapes for them to become SCRATCH.
