I have the same questions as the unanswered questioner below.

Also 5.0.1

update volume=SJL02-0078 ActionOnPurge=Truncate
New ActionOnPurge is: Truncate
New ActionOnPurge is: Truncate
purge volume=SJL02-0078 action=truncate pool=SJL02 storage=SJL02
No volume founds to perform truncate action(s)
update volume="SJL02-0078" volstatus="Used" recyclepool=""
New Volume status is: Used
New RecyclePool is: *None*
New Volume status is: Used
New RecyclePool is: *None*
purge volume=SJL02-0078 action=truncate pool=SJL02 storage=SJL02
No volume founds to perform truncate action(s)
