#1, what's your retention for this data if you don't need it reuse the tapes. #2 if they aren't at 100% do "move data" on them to free up the tapes that way. #3 if your solution calls for long term storage then just check them out and you should be good to go.

Please forgive my naive question...... We are running out of slots in our library and I have examined some of the tapes and have found that some of them haven't been read for 1 1/2 years and some haven't been written to in 3 or 4 years. Can I eject these tapes and store them in a rack? I tried 5 of them and used the following commands: update volume <vol> loc=shelf checkout libv <lib> <vol> checkl=no rem=b Is this kosher? Thanks!
