Doncha hate it when that happens on a Friday? "Q DRM" should show which tapes are copypool tapes and can be removed. You may also have some DB backup volumes in there you could possibly even delete to free up scratch tapes. Or, you may have some PENDing tapes; in an emergency, you could delete the oldest ones. Doing that means you couldn't restore the TSM DB back to to that time, but in a pinch, it's a possibility.
Why out of scratch, though? I'd check to see if reclamation has been running successfully.

Can some please tell me which tape volumes I need to eject from the tape library slots to be sent offiste so that I can load and check in more scratch volumes? +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by [email protected] via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to [email protected]. +----------------------------------------------------------------------
