How do I reclaim a tape that was used for Export Node?

Hi there all,

I have recently tried out the export node feature. I took a node that I was going to delete anyway, exported it to tape, deleted the node, verified that it was gone, checked out the libvolume, checked back in the libvolume, and then imported the node successfully. Happy with that.

But now the volume that was used for the export is sitting in my library server as a private tape. I'd like to return it to a scratch status, but when I try to do that, it gets denied.

tsm: TSM2500>q libvol ts3500 500232
Session established with server TSM2500: AIX
Server Version 6, Release 3, Level 4.0
Server date/time: 11/11/13 11:41:38 Last access: 11/11/13 10:17:43

Library Name Volume Name Status Owner Last Use Home Device Element Type
------------ ----------- ---------------- ---------- --------- ------- ------
TS3500 500232 Private TSM1500 Export 1,072

I then try to update the volume to make it a scratch.

tsm: TSM2500>update libv ts3500 500232 status=scratch
ANR8443E UPDATE LIBVOLUME: Volume 500232 in library TS3500 cannot be assigned a status of SCRATCH.
ANS8001I Return code 12.

I'm not sure what else needs to be done to make this volume eligible to return to scratch status.

Thank you.
