Hi ADSM'ers,

trying to free some BACKUP-storagepoolspace, the answer from the
        del vol /adsm_stg1/adsm.stg11
was the message given in the subject, i.e.
 ANR9999D dfqry.c(595): Missing row for bitfile 0.51964885.
AND the volume was NOT deleted.

I need to free a total of 5 such volumes ( nearly 10 GB ) on a RAID-7
ASAP, because the RAID-space is planned to be used by some other
application.
Currently the volumes are varied offline.
adsm> q vol /adsm_stg1/*

Volume Name                Storage       Device       Estimated     Pct
Volume 
                           Pool Name     Class Name    Capacity    Util
Status 
                                                           (MB)

Q1: Given the contents on the volumes can be ignored, should I give back
    disk-space occupied by the 5 volumes, knowing that ADSM will NEVER
    be able to access this same disk-space again in the future ?
Q2: Does ADSM need to have access to this disk-space in order to be able
    to do a "delete volume /adsm_stg1/adsm.stg1x" or is it merely a
    matter of DB-functioning ?
Q3: Would a "backup db" followed by a "dsmserv restore db" be a propper 
    solution ?
Q4: Any other idea on "what to do best" ?
