Re: VTS Scratch Count Issue
Jacky, There are two main ways to tackle this situation, and likely you will need to do both. 1. The VTS is low on scratch volumes. The way DFSMSrmm handles this CBR3660A wto is to trigger a procedure for running expiration processing. Usually this is enough to return some volumes to scratch status. 2. If #1 does not give you enough scratch volumes you need to look at whether you really have enough defined in the VTS. If you really do need more logical volumes you have to follow the procedure to add/insert more logical volumes. You might want to refer to the redbook SG24-2229 where it states You insert logical volumes in a VTS by defining their volsers and their media type in the Library Manager's Insert Logical Volumes window (Figure 6-19). Physical cartridge movement is not involved. To access the window, select System management on the Library Manager Commands pull-down, then select Insert VTS logical volumes. Prior to inserting the extra logical volumes you should check how the tape management system will handle this; by default DFSMSrmm will automatically take ownership and add them to its CDS - but your system may be configured differently.

Re: VTS Scratch Count Issue
The only other area I might also consider is your backend tapes for the VTS should you decide to add more virtual tapes. Make sure you have enough of them to support any additions you might make to the VTS. Lizette There are two main ways to tackle this situation, and likely you will need to do both. 1.
