[ADSM-L] orphan libvol

Hi,

We upgraded our 3584 libs to new drives, and are in the
process of converting to new media.

I have a orphan libvol - a library manager libvol for which
there is no library client volume.

  LIB MGR libvol - private, owned by TSM5
     ./run_cmd.ksh tsmlm2 "q libvol 3584isoc j03829"
     3584ISOC        J03829  Private TSM5            2,823   3592
  LIB MGR volhist
     ./run_cmd.ksh tsmlm2 " q volhist" | grep -i j03829
     05/29/12   09:09:12 REMOTE  3584ISOC-TAPE   J03829  TSM5

  LIB CLIENT vol - NONE
     ./run_cmd.ksh tsm5 "q vol J03829 "
     ANR2034E QUERY VOLUME: No match found using this criteria.

Now, this TSM5 instance has NO TAPE AT ALL.  It was migrated to
DataDomain file vols and the tape environment was dismantled.

I can just "checkout libv 3584isoc J03829" and remove the tape
from the lib, and it's gone.  But I want to make sure TSM is clean.
So I did the checkout, then tried to check it in as SCRATCH.
TSM refused to perform the checkin, throwing this error:

  ANR8443E CHECKIN LIBVOLUME: Volume J03829 in library 3584ISOC
  cannot be assigned a status of SCRATCH.

I then checked it back in as PRIVATE and it went back to being
a libv owned by TSM5.

Q)  Is it ok to simply check out this libv and forget about it?

It seems that if I do this, I'm leaving something in the libr mgr
that should be cleaned up.



Thanks

Rick
