I usually run a script which outputs all my volumes from two stgpools with tape
older than seven days that need to be deleted in a file as follows:
export TSMPATH=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin;
export ADSMCMD="$TSMPATH/dsmadmc -id=$ID -password=$PASS";
$ADSMCMD <<EOF
select volume_name from volumes where stgpool_name like 'FCRFCCBAK%' and
last_write_date< current_timestamp - 7 day or stgpool_name like 'FCRFCC_P%'and
last_write_date< current_timestamp - 7 day > /tmp/nrvol.out
EOF
I then run another script as follows and this does the job.
cat /tmp/nrvol.out | grep -v VOL | grep -v \- | while read LINE
do
export TSMPATH=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin;
export ADSMCMD="$TSMPATH/dsmadmc -id=$ID -password=$PASS";
$ADSMCMD <<EOF
delete volume $LINE discarddata=yes wait=yes
Y
EOF
done
Hope this might help
Warm regards

On the other hand:
While the DELETE VOL command (and others) allows you to specify only one
volume at a time, don't hesitate to use TSM's utterly cool automation
capabilities!
If you can construct a SELECT command to pull your volume list, for
example:
select volume_name from volumes where volume_name like '62%ANWL2'
then you can also have TSM create all the commands for you, for example:
select 'delete vol' ,volume_name, 'DISCARD=y wait=yes' from volumes
where volume_name like '62%ANWL2'
Take the resulting list of commands, define it as a tsm script called
DELETEM, then just enter "run deletem".
It will not only do the work for you, the WAIT=YES it will serialize
them !
(As Andy famously says, "the command line is your friend!")

Aaron,
To expand on Andrew's answer a little. The documentation clearly only
allows you to specify on volume per command, but you could run multiple
commands. However, I should caution you when doing so. If the volumes
to be deleted contain a large number of files this will be a very DB
intensive process since each file is an object in the data base that
will have to be updated. You will actually get better performance if
you limit it to 1 or 2 at a time.
