Happened to us on some older tapes that were in copypools, you
need to audit the volume. I have a simple script that cleans up tapes
that you think have a problem. It runs some other commands, but the most
important is the audit vol command.

                          Name: FIX_VOL
                   Line Number: Description
                       Command: q vol $1
                       Command: q content $1 count=10
                       Command: update vol $1 access=readw
                       Command: audit vol $1 fix=yes
                       Command: q vol $1
                       Command: update vol $1 access=offsite

Subject: copy stg pool volume

Ok Here's a fun one.  5.1.5 server on z/os
 
I am doing some housecleaning.  I have a copy pool that used to go to
3490 tapes. Then we created a pool that goes to 9840 tapes.  I'm trying
to get rid of the 3490 pool.  
first, I did a backup stg pool from my inhouse stg  to the copy pool on
9840's Next, I ran a series of delete volumes discarddata=yes Now there
is just one tape left When I try to delete the volume discarddata=yes it
fails and says there is data on the tape When I do a query volume it
says the volume is full When I do a query con it says no match found
When I do a move data it says volume is empty
 
What am I doing wrong?
