You can use a wildcard for the backupset name.  Try delete backupset
<nodename> * beginddate=today-1 enddate=today.

During creation of a backupset my TSM server crashed and rebooted (Bad
Processor). Now I have a tape volume that is showing up in q volhist as
last
used backupset. The backupset never had a chance to complete. I have tried
to "delete vol VOLUMENAME discarddata=yes" but the volume does not defined
in any storage pool.

In the old days we used to use "delete volhist type=backupset todate=(the
day after the backupset was created) totime=(the same time)
volume=(volumename in all CAPS) force=yes" to clear volumes that had passed
the backupset retention setting to be able to reuse the tapes. When I tried
the command I got "ANR2023E DELETE VOLHISTORY: Extraneous parameter -
volume."
Reading the help delete volhist it says " Use the DELETE BACKUPSET command
to delete specified backup set volume information in the volume history
file. Do not use this DELETE VOLHISTORY command to delete backup set volume
information in the volume history file."
I can not use the delete backupset command because the backup_set_name is
(Required), which I do not have because the create backupset never got that
far.
I know I have an unusual situation because of the crash, but I was hoping
someone may have a suggestion.

TSM Server 5.1.6.3 Win2K
