It's a library manager setup, with both Library Server and Library Client at TSM 6.2.30. The Library Client had mounted this tape to run a database backup, but the backup failed with a tape I/O error. So it didn't make it into the Library Client's Volume History File. I reran the DB backup, which worked the second time using a different tape. The Library Client knows nothing of the first tape anymore. However, the Library Server still has it listed in its Volume History File as Volume Type REMOTE, with a date more than 8 days ago. Q LIBVOL shows: Library Name: LIBE Volume Name: TE0105 Status: Private Owner: ADSM-4 (That's the name of the Library Client) Last Use: DbBackup Home Element: 1,105 Device Type: LTO Cleanings Left: Media Type: LTO-4 On the Library Server system, I tried UPDATE LIBVOL STATUS=SCRATCH, and DELETE VOLHISTORY TYPE=ALL TODATE=TODAY-8 to no avail. That didn't remove it from the VolHist file. It seems stuck in limbo. This tape has nothing useful on it - an old and incomplete database backup. How can I recover it? I'd hate to hand-edit the VolHist file. Roger Deschner University of Illinois at Chicago rog...@uic.edu ======I have not lost my mind -- it is backed up on tape somewhere.=====
