Tim,

The audit does indeed require that the volume is in the library.

If it is a copy storage pool volume, you just can delete it with the option
discarddata=yes. The files that were on the volume will be included in the
next backup of the primary storage pools.

Regards,
Kurt

Does the volume have to be physically available to audit it
The partricular tape I am dealing with is an offsite tape.


ANR2425E AUDIT VOLUME: Unable to access volume A01758 - access mode is set
to "offsite".
