Hi

I haven't seen your script, but are you sure this is not an off-site 
copypool volume, that the DRM process wants back to the library to convert 
it to a scratch volume?

The volume has problably been reclaimed, and therefore, the script, that 
probably runs somekind of DMR procedure, wants you to return the empty 
tape to the library.

Best Regards

Hi again everyone!

I have an administrative job running that is copying the onsite tape pool
to the offsite tapepool.  For some bizarre reason it is asking for a 
volume
that is offsite.

                   Volume Name: 473257
             Storage Pool Name: DRCOPYDEC
             Device Class Name: T3590DR
       Estimated Capacity (MB): 0.0
                      Pct Util: 0.0
                 Volume Status: Empty
                        Access: Read-Only
        Pct. Reclaimable Space: 0.0
               Scratch Volume?: Yes
               In Error State?: No
      Number of Writable Sides: 1
       Number of Times Mounted: 1
             Write Pass Number: 0
     Approx. Date Last Written:

         Number of Read Errors: 0
It is not recognized as being offsite, but it is empty.  I have tried to
cancel the administrative process, but it won't let it go.  When I q mount
it doesn't show that that tape is mounted in a drive.  I also tried to
delete the volume and audit the volume, but as I suspected it stated that
the volume was in use by another process.  Any suggestions on how to 
cancel
this process so that it releases the tape and I can then delete it from
TSM?  Thanks!!!
