Unable to remove a volume from a Storage Pool

[benny_01670]

This morning I noticed that one of our backup volumes was located in the wrong Storage Pool.



I have tried to delete the volume, but it will not remove it and see the following message in the Activity Log.



<TABLE BORDER=0 ALIGN=CENTER WIDTH=85%><TR><TD><font class="pn-sub">Quote:</font><HR></TD></TR><TR><TD><FONT class="pn-sub"><BLOCKQUOTE> ANR1425W Scratch volume XXX is empty but will not be deleted - volume state is "mountablenotinlib".</BLOCKQUOTE></FONT></TD></TR><TR><TD><HR></TD></TR></TABLE>



I have tried to define to the correct Storage Pool, but I keep getting the following message.



<TABLE BORDER=0 ALIGN=CENTER WIDTH=85%><TR><TD><font class="pn-sub">Quote:</font><HR></TD></TR><TR><TD><FONT class="pn-sub"><BLOCKQUOTE> ANR2400E DEFINE VOLUME: Volume XXX is already defined in a storage pool or has been used previously to store export, database dump, or database backup information. </BLOCKQUOTE></FONT></TD></TR><TR><TD><HR></TD></TR></TABLE>



Any Ideas on who I can re-assign the volume back to it's correct Storage Pool?



Thanks in advance

Ben

Try the following:



checkout libv &lt;library> &lt;volume name> checkl=y

q request

reply ### (use number you received from q request)

move media &lt;volume name> stg=&lt;storage pool> wherestate=mountablenotinlib



These commands did the trick for me. GS
