Many times discussed on the list. Sometimes TSM assumes there is
information on empty volumes. "aud v 473257 fix=y" should relieve the
problem.

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

         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!!!
