True, but other tools should not have access to the tapes. If they do,
then you've got a much larger data integrity problem to solve. Reading
beyond the end-of-tape mark is not possible when the only program able
to access the tape is the TSM server. If there is a way to run these

The simple assumption that other tools (or people) should not have access

From searching the archives, it seems that TSM does not have a tape erasure
ability, but must be done outside of TSM. I understand TSM, and that there
is little to no need to erase a tape, but of course, management doesn't

Just to clarify, data shredding is available for random access disk

Yes, there are reasons. While you're reusing the tape, there is still old
data on the unused part of the tape that can be read with other tools.

Is there a way to erase tapes via TSM? (Or AIX?)
We have changed servers and tape format (from TSM4.1, AIX 4.something and
