TSM prevents from deleting empty copypool volumes when they are offsite
just to ensure you will bring then back onsite one day. When you bring the
volume back and let the TSM server know the fact, the volume gets deleted
at once and becomes scratch.

If this is your "problem", the method to resolve it is outlined above. If
there is another problem and the volume is indeed empty, bring it onsite
and try to relabel it.

I have a volume in my copypool that is a problem

it is access=offsite
location=vault

it will not reclaim and if I try to delete it, it say it is empty offsite
and can not be delete

I know that there is a way to Audit this volume while it is still offsite

how do I do that?
