Can't you just do a checkout with remove=no and then label the tapes?

Dwight-

Thank you for the reply.  I did try deleting them, but they are not part
of a storage pool, so they cannot be "deleted" (and there is no "delete
libvolume" command).  I updated a couple of the volumes to scratch, just
as a test.  After updating them, I tried:  "label libvol <LIBNAME>
search=yes checkl=barcode checkin=scr overwrite=yes
volrange=<vol1>,<vol2>".  However, TSM reports 0 volumes labelled and
exits with "Success".

The only other thing I can think to do is to go to the library and
physically remove them.  Once removed, audit the library to show TSM that
they are no longer in the library. Then, load them back in and check them
in correctly.

Any other ideas?  Thanks.
