Thanks for the responses on Undefined Volume. I tried to grep the
volumehistory for the mentioned volume and nothing came up, also greped for
a volume that was in the history and is showed up so the command is correct.
q vol xxx f=d came up with no match found using this criteria. So my next
step is to either checkout the volume and see what it says or maybe try move
data to see if that will work. Thanks.
