We have a department leaving our TSM system that would like to have the
tapes we've been using for them -- they'd keep them on a shelf and
presumably use tsmtape (or whatever) if they needed the old data.  I'm
not sure how to handle that request; I could mark the volumes 'offsite',
but they're really going out of the system completely.  But I don't want
to remove the contents of the tape, or move the tape contents to some
other volume, so 'delete volume' doesn't sound right.  Any suggestions?
 TSM 5.3, running on RHEL.  Thanks!
