When I try to #delete volume xxxxxxx discarddata=yes - it returns - volume contains data. When I use move data - it returns - volume contains no data. DRM says it is in vault status. I would like to make this volume as scratch and put it back into the scratch pool. Any suggestions? Regards, Kamran H.
