Re: delete offsite volume - did not go to a pending status

Update the access to readwrite or readonly first, than it will be deleted.
So also "help update volume"

update vol 006273 access=reado

The volume can't be deleted becaurse it's access=offline, like the actlog
said.

And after a delete volume the volume doesn't go to pending, it's deleted, so
it completely disappears. Only if the volume is in the library, you can find
the volume back with "q libv". If it isn't in the library, the volume is
gone.

Maurice

Hey all -

I've been doing a little cleanup of some offsite tapes
- long story - but bascially I'm doing some "delete
volume <volid> discard=yes".  Ran one today on a tape,
and for some reason the tape did not go to a pending
status.  It's still at a full status.  I did get all
the other messages about it being empty and all that
good stuff - just no pending status.  The tape IS
empty, and I got an error when I tried delete volume
on it again.

Any ideas?

Tracy
