Subject: Getting rid of ghost REMOTE volumes

How can I get rid of/delete/release volumes that were associated with a TSM 
server that no longer exists?

For example, here is the history of a volume.  The last use was to the server 
CAPELLA which has been decommissioned.  It also
happens to be a database backup for that now defunct server.

Can I just initialize it with extreme prejudice ?   Will it let me ?   A
simple delete volume doesnt work since this server doesn't own it eventhough it 
is the library owning server!
