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.
