Francis, RMM really doesnt care where a tape is when you use it. The location that rmm records is not used by the system when determining where to mount the volume - only at return to scratch time by rmm to decide whether to make the request via OAM or simply update the rmm cds.
So, in order to use the cartridges you need the system to know the are no longer in an SMS managed library. If this was your only SMS managed library, export disconnect the volcat(s). If you have other SMS managed libraries you will have to use IDCAMS to delete the volume records and also remove the library record from the VGENERAL volcat. This change should allow private volume to now be used stand-alone. To ensure rmm has the correct location name, once the above volcat change is done, you can issue RMM CV volser LOCATION(SHELF) FORCE this should update rmm to correct the location to SHELF.
