You can't get rid of the most recent db backup.  If you do another db
backup, you can then do a

delete volhist type=dbb todate=today

That should get rid of all but the most recent db backup tape and return it
to scratch.  You might have to wait until tomorrow to delete today's db
backup.  I've fooled with this and sometimes it can be confounding.  TSM
does not want to let you delete the most recent db backup for obvious
reasons.

Subject: deleting an undefined volume


Hi all,

        I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but here goes... I labeled a
volume and used this volume for a db backup. My problem is that I forgot
to define the volume in my copy storage pool. Now, I cannot define it to
the pool (because it was used for a db backup), nor can I give the
volume a status of scratch...

        How can I get out of this mess? I'd like to simply delete and
relabel
the volume, I have no need to preseve the db backup.

Thanks,

Jon
