Private volumes with no last use?

[Elomis]

Hey guys,

When I do a

q libvol

, I see a lot of tapes in my library that are scratches (good thing), a lot that are backups (also a good thing, DbBackup and data) and a lot of private volumes that have no last use.

A lot of the tapes in this library were checked in and would have had something on them from an old backup solution that was got rid of; is it possible that TSM is picking up that there is "something" on the tapes and setting them to private? how would I tell? is this the right tree to bark up?

They aren't in a storage group....

Elomis-

Here's a select statement that will help you.....

select varchar(volume_name,8) as "Volume",cast(date_time as date) as "Date",varchar(type,9) as "Type",varchar(devclass,7) as "Devclass" from volhistory where volume_name like upper('XXXXXX')


XXXXX - Volume number
the happ face is number eight...for "eight digits & )"
