Are these tapes by any chance ejected from the library with the 'move media'
command?
When I have tapes go empty which are racked out of the library, I run a script
to get the media tracking to forget about them and make them scratch.
the script -
tsm: LM2>run qscr mmi
Description
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do move media commands to bring volumes in from the rack
Line num Command
--------- -----------------------------------------------------------------
1 move media $1 stg=$2 wherestate=mountablenotinlib wherestatus=$3
And sample executions -
run mmi 300003L3 UNIX1_CPPT_ORA_PRD EMPTY
run mmi 300008L3 UNIX1_CPPT_ORA_PRD EMPTY
These tapes can now be entered as scratch.

But then the volumes would not show as Scratch Volume?: Yes
Leonard needs to do Activity Log research on the volumes in question.
sorry about your lunch,
