Hi Christoph

Try this. It worked for me.

"Explanation: The named scratch volume is empty but will not be deleted at
this time because the state of the volume is MOUNTABLENOTINLIB. Possible
reasons include, a MOVE MEDIA command was used to check the volume out of
the library and the volume was subsequently checked into the library using
CHECKIN LIBVOL without first running a MOVE MEDIA command to update the
volume state back to MOUNTABLEINLIB state. If this should happen, the
QUERY
MEDIA will display the volume to be in MOUNTABLEINLIB state since QUERY
MEDIA does verify if the volume is actually in the library before
displaying
the state of the volume.
System Action: The volume is not deleted.
User Response: The following steps may be used if the volume is to be
deleted:
  1. Run CHECKOUT LIBVOL to check the affected volume out of the library,
     the REMOVE=NO option may be used to prevent actual volume movement
  2. Run MOVE MEDIA * STG=* WHERESTATE=MOUNTTABLENOTINLIB
WHERESTATUS=EMPTY.
     When the volume is moved by MOVE MEDIA WHERESTATE=MOUNTABLENOTINLIB,
     the scratch empty volume is deleted
  3. Check the volume back into the library using CHECKIN LIBVOL command"

Volume : "mountablenotinlib"






Hi all,

With the last restart of the TSM-Server a message come up in actlog :
ANR1425W Scratch volume 000003 is empty but will not be deleted - volume
state is "mountablenotinlib".

The volume is in the library, I see in with q libvol in Status=Private, it
belongs to a tape-storage-pool, but it can not be deleted. A "select from
media where volume_name='000003' shows the following :

VOLUME_NAME: 000003
STATE: MOUNTABLEINLIB
UPD_DATE: 2004-03-03 15:17:17.000000
LOCATION:
STGPOOL_NAME: POOL_EXTERN
LIB_NAME: 3494LIB0
STATUS: EMPTY
ACCESS: READWRITE
LRD: 2004-02-19 20:00:30.000000

How do I get this volume deleted ?

Thanks for help
