We have taken a TSM instance shut down. Now we want to use the tapes on which the database backups are as scratch tapes. These tapes are still available in the Library (I/O Station). At the command "label libvolume ibm3584 CHECKIN = SCRATCH SEARCH = Bulk Label Source Code = overwrite = yes".
We always get the error message "ANR8816E LABEL LIBVOLUME. Volume 081080 in library IBM3584 can not be labeled because it is currently defined in a storage pool or in the volume history file".
Since the TSM instance to which the tapes belongs, is not longer existing, so I can not remove them from the storage pool.
Is there another way to transform these DB Tapes to Scratch Tapes ?
