No need to change REUsedelay. Just use DELete Volume. The volume is
already empty so it would succeed. The libvolume will become scratch if it
was and everything is as you want it. If the volume was DEFined to the
stgpool you will need one step more - define it back after delete.
Be aware - if volume have been defined to pool after delete libvolume
stays "private" and does not return to scratch! This ought to be a bug (I
did checked in the docs, it might be also WaD) but cannot say to which
versions/patches applies and to which ones does not.

        Subject:        Changing tape vol from pending status to readwrite


TSM = 5.11
OS= Win2K

I have many tapes in my tapepool which show status as pending.  I am
trying
to upd the status to readwrite so I can use the tapes now.  I realize that
the pending will automatically change to readwrite at a certain time
period.  Can I move to readwrite now?  I have already tried to use, upd
vol
volname access=readwrite  but when I check by q vol the vol status still
is
set at pending.

Thanks for any help.  Ron
