Yes, these tapes are as good as scratch. Check them in as scratch, and reuse
them.
When volhistory says STGDELETE, the volume has been removed from TSM usage,
and can be reused. Just make sure there isn't a later input in volhistory,
where tape has been reallocated to TSM. (STGNEW).

Subject: volume in volhistory as STGDELETE


quick question.... we've got some tapes in our vault that apparantly dont
show up anywhere in tsm under the volume or libvolume listing. the only
place i have been able to find information about them is in the volhistory
table which shows they were placed into a STGDELETE state back in november
2002. again.. these tapes do not show up anywhere else... not in volumes,
libvolumes, contents, drmedia or media.


can i safely assume there is nothing on these tapes?

this is version 4.2.2
