Aaron,

To expand on Andrew's answer a little.  The documentation clearly only
allows you to specify on volume per command, but you could run multiple
commands.  However, I should caution you when doing so.  If the volumes
to be deleted contain a large number of files this will be a very DB
intensive process since each file is an object in the data base that
will have to be updated.  You will actually get better performance if
you limit it to 1 or 2 at a time.

Hello Aaron,

The product documentation should easily answer this question for you. The
command reference is, literally, at your fingtertips:

In general:

   help <command>

In your case:

  help delete volume

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.

Can I delete multiple volumes at one time by issuing the command 'delete
volume 623ANWL2,624ANWL2,625ANWL2 discard=y' , or do I have to do them
separate?

Thanks!

Aaron
