I'm not sure why you have the problem, unless you specified date
incorrectly.
DELETE VOLHISTORY TYPE=DBB TODATE=TODAY-5
deletes all DB backups older than 5 days.
TSM won't let you delete the most recent DB backup.
And, if you are using DBSNAPSHOT to create the DB backups, you have to use
TYPE=DBS instead of DBB.
But the command above works fine here. We are TSM 4.1.3 on AIX 4.3.3.

Yes Richard, when I need to delete one volume to the backup series, because
I need to reuse the volume.
When run the comman " q volhist t=dbb" I saw the 7 volumes with series 1

delete volhist t=dbb tod=xxxx, and i can't ...

Christian - I suspect that you are trying to delete one volume from a
Backup Series, as in the Full that the subsequent
Incremental(s)
is/are dependent upon. Use Query VOLHistory to inspect it in context.
Try to invoke DELete VOLHistory so that one whole, old Series is deleted.
