C. Adams,
The 'delete volume' is the correct way. When all the volumes are
deleted you can delete the storage pool. Why don't you delete a few volumes
at a time, and see how long they take, and watch the recovery log, too, so
it doesn't fill up. It seems like to me you ought to be able to do a bunch
of them in a day, and clean this up within the week. 100 volumes isn't that
many, and deleting 15 a day would do it.
I have done this in the past, and, depending on how many files are
on them, they could take 15 minutes to an hour or more to delete. Don't get
more than a few going at once, or they may all fight for the database.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards,

Subject: [ADSM-L] Removing copy storage pool
Hi all,
I have recently moved my TSM 5.2.2.4 instance from a Win2k server to a
Win2k3 server and from an IBM 3583 4x SCSI LTO1 library to an ADIC i2k
4x SCSI LTO2 library. As part of the process I have had to move all the
data from the LTO1 volumes as we did not want to run mixed media within
the new library. This has left me with an LTO2 primary pool, an LTO2
copy pool and the original LTO1 copy pool.
I need to know how to remove the now redundant LTO1 copy pool so I am
left with just the LTO2 based pools. Would it be a case of issuing:
'DEL VOL <volume_name> DISCARDD=Y' ?
If so, how many should I process between db backups (I backup the db
once a day). I have appx. 100 offsite LTO1 tapes to remove. If this is
not the correct way to do it could anyone offer advice.
Many thanks, C Adams.
