Hey all - I've been doing a little cleanup of some offsite tapes - long story - but bascially I'm doing some "delete volume <volid> discard=yes". Ran one today on a tape, and for some reason the tape did not go to a pending status. It's still at a full status. I did get all the other messages about it being empty and all that good stuff - just no pending status. The tape IS empty, and I got an error when I tried delete volume on it again.
Any ideas? Tracy ------------------------------------------------- 07/28/05 13:20:04 ANR0984I Process 1197 for DELETE VOLUME (DISCARD DATA) started in the BACKGROUND at 13:20:04.
