Hi Sam,
most likely the tape is not checked in. When you delete data from it, it
returns to scratch, and is no longer defines in a storagepool - which is why
you can't see the volume with q volume. If you can't see the volume with q
libvol, it is normally because it is not checked in. Check this select *
from volhistory where volume_name='xxxx'
Now check the LAST entry in the list, for this volume. If it says TYPE
STGDELETE your volume is OK, and you just check it in to your library.

Rgds.

Subject: Missing volume


Hi *smers, I have a strange problem for me. We deleted  the data from a
volume to make it a scratch and we can not see the volume when we do a q
libvol or q volume. We can't see the volume. In the activity log the process
ran to successful conclusion. Help

                        TIA
