Move volume from Active to Full?

Is there any way to administratively change a volume's status from Active to Full?    I could suspend it, but we currently use suspended tapes for some particular reasons in our workflow.  It would be better if I could avoid this volume appearing there.

It seems the easiest way is for me to change it from Active to Full, but I don't see any interface for doing so.  Just wondering if I have any options.

NBU 6.0MP4 Linux.

Thanks,

You can set max number of mounts and change the current number of mounts to equal it.
 
(Change volume's maximum mount count)
  vmchange [-h <volume_database_host>]
           -maxmounts <max_mounts> -m <media_id>
 
(Change volume's number of mounts count / cleanings)
  vmchange [-h <volume_database_host>]
           -n <num_mounts/cleanings> -m <media_id>
check out the man page for vmchange for similiar ideas.
