Even after typing the mentioned command, I ma unable to reuse the
volume.

However the vol hist command has been run successfully.

Entering the command is one thing, but successful conclusion is
another. Check your TSM Activity Log. And if that was your only
dbbackup, then it will not be releaseable, because TSM wants to have a
minimum of one backup around. My suggestion would be to institute a
daily, full db backup, and an administrative schedule which releases
old volumes after something like 5 days, or whatever meets your
disaster recovery needs.
