This could be your problem, you need them in scratch (or insert) category. >From the fine manual.. 8.6.2 Ejecting logical volumes Logical volumes are not physical entities that can be individually removed from the library. They reside on stacked volumes with many other logical volumes. Because of the permanent nature of the EJECT, the TS7700 Virtualization Engine only allows you to EJECT a logical volume that is in either the INSERT or SCRATCH (defined with fast-ready attribute) categories. If a logical volume is in any other status, the EJECT fails. So, if we eject a scratch volume and later we need to recover the data, it will not be possible to do that action, so keep that in mind before you eject logical volumes. Note: This fact has proven to be cumbersome for volumes that happen to be in the ERROR category (000E). An easy way to eject such volumes is to use ISMF screens to set these volumes to the PRIVATE status. The volume status is propagated to DFSMSrmm. You can use DFSMSrmm to subsequently assign the volume to the Pending Release status, and the next RMM HSKP run will return it to a SCRATCH status, allowing you to eject it.
