I am having the same type of problem running TSM 5.1.5.4 on z/OS 1.1.
Except my tapes are in my tapepool not the offsite copypool.  I just tried
the procedure you described and I still have the problem.  I have not even
looked at my OFFSITE pool, yet.   Is anyone else experiencing this?

        This has been discussed a few times if you look in the archives, but
the answer for copypool tapes that are offsite:

update vol #### access=readw
audit vol #### fix=yes
update vol #### access=offsite

        No need to actually return the tape back to the library.

Subject: Cannot remove tapes from copy storage pool


Hi all

I have 2 tapes in the copy storage pool that I cannot get rid of.
When I try to do a "move data" command, it says that the tape has no data on
it.
When I try to do a "delete volume" command, it says that the tape still
contain data.
(What a contradiction!!!)

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to remove these 2 tapes from the
copy
storage pool?

Yours sincerely
David Lin
