Andy, et al. I have no solution, but found your email thread as I'm looking to solve exactly the same problem. It's a tough nut to crack!
We have 6 tapes in a shared 3584 w/ exactly that problematic status: The Library Mgr TSM's VolHistory shows tape as PRIVATE,REMOTE owned by other TSM, but the other TSM's VolHist has long since finished with the tapes: two were obsolete DBB backups (probably cancelled/aborted) the other four show UNKNOWN in the devclass field (dunno why) I believe these tapes are stuck in a crack in the Share Library reality and are essentially lost unless someone knows now to remove the "useless and inappropriate" REMOTE records from the Library Mgr's VolHistory. If that can be accomplished, then we can UPDate LIBVolume .... STATUS=SCRatch to fix the problem. I've tried CHECKOut LIBVolume... at the Library Mgr TSM, but that didn't help. The Library Sharer TSM can not do the CHECKOut LIBVolume because the library is unknown. I think the tapes have fallen into a crack in TSM's reality. Anybody else have a better grip on this? If not, I'll open a PMR. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] (203.432.6693)

You can do a delete volume ###### discard=yes. This will delete all references to data on that volume from the TSM database.
I had the volume checked in. The volume now shows up in q libv:
tsm: TSMLIBM>q libv 3584lib 110544
Library Name Volume Name Status Owner Last Use Home Device Element Type ------------ ----------- ---------- ---------- --------- ------- ------ 3584LIB 110544 Private TSMJ 1,095 3592
But, since the volume does not show up in TSMJ (actually it was a database backup tape), I cannot delete it. Any ideas?
