This is on your library manager instance. If you delete the volhist TYPE=REMOTE 
entries, the next time you do an AUDIT LIBRARY from
the library client they will re-sync all the volume information from the client 
and build new TYPE=REMOTE entries for only the
volumes that the client has assigned.

Or run this select command to a file and then feed it back in on your library 
manager:

select 'del volhist type=remote tod=+0 force=yes volume=' || volume_name from 
volhistory where devclass='<devclass naem in upper
case>'

We have about 800 volumes that are Remote Type.  We only need to delete the 
ones with a specific device class.  Is there a way to
accomplish this?  If we delete all of the remote types from the volhist, will 
the in use volumes generate new history if we delete
their old history?

I had a similar problem once and TSM gave me this nifty command:

delete volhist todate=today type=remote volume=volumename force=yes

Works well if somehow a tape's status has been lost between server to server 
communications, where your library manager shows the
tape as type remote (meaning that it has been given control over to another 
server), and the server that is supposed to be using it
shows either no info in the volhist or the last entry shows it as being 
stgdelete.  Hope this helps.

I have this problem tape.  The library manager server says the tape is 
owned/used by a "remote" system/server.

When I check the "remote" system, it says it knows nothing about the tape.

How can I convince the library manager server that the tape is 
gone/deleted/kaput  so I can relabel the tape and reuse it ?

DELETE VOLUME ...  DISCARDDATA=YES does nothing.

Is there some kind of hidden "force=yes IreallyMeanIt=yes" option I can use ?
