consider doing a 'delete volume VOLNAME discarddata=yes' if the volume is
really empty.

I must do this on occasion, but I don't like it.  Sometimes it happens if
there had been
a read error on the tape.

Subject: TSM5.1.8: Can't Reclaim COPYPOOL Volume


I normally reclaim offsite copypool volumes once a week.  When the
reclaim is complete, some volumes will be STATUS=EMPTY and
ACCESS=OFFSITE.  When I update the volume to ACCESS=READWRITE, it is
dropped from the Copy storage pool and I can put it back into the
scratchpool.  I have a tape that is not working that way.  It is 100%
reclaimable, 0.0% used, has no CONTENT, but just won't go empty.  Am I
doing something wrong or am I confused or am I having a Senior Moment.?
