Define the one vol range as private volumes to the one storage pool; define the other vol range as private volumes to the other storage pool. The "empty" volumes are your "scratch" tapes.

I have a customer with 2 basic storage pool hiearchies for 2 different business departments within the same library. There are 2 cartridge sets to match, The tape labels have been ordered to reflect each department.as below. With department A data on A0....L3. tapes and department B data on B....L3 labeled tapes. A00001L3 - A00999L3 B00001L3 - B00999L3 There is no library manager. Only 1 instance of TSM. TSM 5.4 server on WIndows; IBM 3584 library; 6 x LTO3 drives My questions are: Am I missing something? How do I manage specific tape serial numbers in specific storage pools? How do I manage scratch tapes? Thanks! Nicholas
