If tape is not getting deleted
Say

Delete volume <volume name> discard=yes force=yes

With force=yes u may get error but it will be deleted.Since its 0 bytes hope
its ok for u.

I have some like that also. Usually an audit of the database will clear
those up, they have with mine. But some databases are so large that the
server can't be down that long. If you figure out another way without a
long outage, let me know.

Thanks,

Subject:  bad tape

Hello everyone!

I have a weird situation and I wasn't quite sure what to do.  I have a bad
tape that is vaulted.  It has 0 data on it, but it won't delete from TSM.
The reuse delay is way past expiration, so it isn't being held by that.
Does anyone have any suggestions?  Thanks!!
