Subject: Re: Cannot delete tape in empty status... media state is
incorrect
Try this command:
move media * stg=archlog_tape wherestate=mountablenotinlib
wherestatus=empty
Thjis should only take a few seconds. Lokk in actlog to see that it worked
correctly. Tape should bve "Scratch" after this. (NOTE: not sure what
happens if tape is actually in library, we do this for tapes out of
library.)
Double check, may have to manually move tape out and check back in
as scratch.

Here's a puzzle for you all...
I just yesterday upgraded from TSM 3.7.3.0 to 4.1.4.1 on AIX 4.3.3. All
went well, and I haven't seen any problems except for this: I discovered a
tape in my library that is EMPTY, but it has not been changed to scratch.
Details of this tape's status are below.
If I try to update the status to scratch (upd liv atl dbr086 stat=scr), I
get this:
08/30/01 11:13:05 ANR8443E UPDATE LIBVOLUME: Volume DBR086 in library ATL
cannot be assigned a status of SCRATCH.
If I try to delete it (del vol dbr086), I get this:
08/30/01 11:15:08 ANR1425W Scratch volume DBR086 is empty but will not be
deleted - volume state is "mountablenotinlib".
As you can see below, the media state according to Q MEDIA is MOUNTABLE IN
LIBRARY, yet the delete fails because it is MOUNTABLE NOT IN LIBRARY.
It looks to me like my database is somehow corrupted. Anyone have an idea?
