I'm confused. Is this an actual tape, or a "tape" in a VTL? What do you
mean by "VTL requirements"? If this stgpool consists of real tapes, the
existenace of a VTL elsewhere in your configuration should not matter at
all.
I've done this several times with worn-out real tapes. DELETE VOL
DISCARDDATA=YES and it has always gone into Pending status.
Sounds like a defect. Preserve the ACTLOG and call IBM support.
