In NetWorker 7.2.1 on Solaris 9, I am having trouble deleting a pool
that was set up a few years ago to receive NDMP data for a client
that was taken out of production several months ago. The client
resource has long since been removed. No client file entries exist
for this client, nor can I find any evidence of its tapes in the
media database. Despite this, whenever I try to delete the unwanted
tape pool with nwadmin, I get an error message that says "Pool
PostofficeC cannot be deleted because it has active volumes in the
media database" which is wrong. How do I go about convincing the
nwadmin GUI that it should allow me to delete this tape pool?

Does the command line agree with that statement?

# mminfo -av -q 'pool=PostofficeC' -r 'volume'

Ah! Thank you! That command came up with a volume ID.

That information allowed me to delete the unwanted pool and group.
