Not entirely true. The product doesn't provide a DOCUMENTED way to do
this.

There are some undocumented parameters for the DELETE VOLHIST command.
Specifically, you can add "vol=VOLNAME force=yes" to the command to remove
the volume forcibly from the volhistory.

We have found this command necessary when our library manager thinks
another TSM server instance still owns a tape, when that instance has
forgotten all about it.
