We have about 800 volumes that are Remote Type.  We only need to delete
the ones with a specific device class.  Is there a way to accomplish
this?  If we delete all of the remote types from the volhist, will the
in use volumes generate new history if we delete their old history?

I had a similar problem once and TSM gave me this nifty command:

delete volhist todate=today type=remote volume=volumename force=yes 

Works well if somehow a tape's status has been lost between server to
server communications, where your library manager shows the tape as type
remote (meaning that it has been given control over to another server),
and the server that is supposed to be using it shows either no info in
the volhist or the last entry shows it as being stgdelete.  Hope this
helps.

I have this problem tape.  The library manager server says the tape is
owned/used by a "remote" system/server.

When I check the "remote" system, it says it knows nothing about the
tape.

How can I convince the library manager server that the tape is
gone/deleted/kaput  so I can relabel the tape and reuse it ?

DELETE VOLUME ...  DISCARDDATA=YES does nothing.

Is there some kind of hidden "force=yes IreallyMeanIt=yes" option I can
use ?
