Hi John,
Alessio said he is running ADSM on AIX, which is the same setup I have here,
and there is no "tape management system" involved. ADSM (or TSM,
whatever..) on AIX manages its own tapes. .
I assume you are speaking from OS/390 and a tape management system such as
CA-1? I know that when you do a DELVOL, ADSM calls CA-1 to return the
tapes to scratch from CA-1's point of view, but if it does what when you
execute a DELETE VOLHISTORY, I'm unaware of it (and how could it, since in 2
years of VOLHISTORY, the same tape may have MANY STGNEW/STGDELETE entries?).
I don't have an OS/390 ADSM here I can test on to verify, maybe someone else
can chip in with their experience??
