Have you tried to restore the volume from copypool (and delete it later if
TSM does not delete it):
RESTORE Volume /tsm/storage_pools/disk_unix_backup.01 Wait=Yes
The volume should be deleted automatically by "restore volume" but if not
try "DELete Volume /tsm/storage_pools/disk_unix_backup.01".

Subject: vary volume online..
Hello all,
during disk storage pools reorganization I did a mistake; I was splitting
few huge disk volumes into smaller pieces. Unfortunately, I didn't take
notice to the error RC during deletion one of them (later I found that the
deletion was unsuccessfull due to the known problem when deleting a volume
that looks like empty but there are orphaned entries in the database that
prevents volume's ID from being removed from TSM database) and deleted the
file from filesystem afterwards. At that time I was not aware of any
problem, so everything looked good for me..
When I found out that the removal of the volume was unsuccessfull I tried
to
perform steps mentioned on the list recently (delete volume xxx
discard=yes,
aud vol xxx fix=yes) but did not succeed. At that time server was at the
4.2.1.11 level (AIX 4.3.3 ML9). I got an idea of varying the volume
offline
and deleting it. Did not work aswell, because issuing "audit volume"
requires the volume to be online, so I tried to vary it back online
(please
note, that the original file does not exist in the filesystem anymore)
which
results in ANR7807W (unable to get information for file xxx).
So I issued "dsmftm" to format the proper volume which was successfull.
Again, "vary online" results in ANR1315E (invalid label block).
Neither upgrade to the latest level (4.2.1.15) did not help to resolve
this
problem.
Any ideas how to get rid of the disk volume ? Either by bringing it back
to
the online state or staying offline?
Below are some queries that might help you..
