Bill - If not a collocation issue, then this is the situation I describe as "Tape leak" in ADSM QuickFacts (q.v.). You can use that phrase in a List archives search to see our past discussions on it.

I've noticed that processes will fill a tape and then instead of calling for another FILLING tape in the storage pool, it will mount a scratch tape. I just saw this again this morning...I had a BA STG running from onsite tape to offsite tape. There were 4 tapes in the offsite pool...2 filling.. 1 full..and a filling tape being written to. The current tape filled up and instead of mounting one of the other 2 filling tapes, a new scratch tape was called for. And one of the filling tapes was only 1.4% used! I search the TSM site and the archives, but I must not have the correct search words, 'cause I can't find any hits. My TSM server is 5.3.2.1 on AIX 5.3 ML2.
