Hi James, Checkin libv XX stat=priv owner=<library client> / upd libv XX stat=priv owner=<library client>; Audit library XX on the library client => will tell the library manager "its not my tape" Q libv should show tape XX as scratch.

I will add my voice to this issue. I have the exact same problem. If you check the ADSM-L archives, I asked the same question, over a month ago. Got no responses.

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) Andrew Carlson wrote: > On Fri, 20 May 2005 09:27:39 -0500, Ochs, Duane <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> You can do a delete volume ###### discard=yes.
