To find out what TSM actually did with that volume, you can use this SQL query:
SELECT * FROM VOLHISTORY WHERE VOLUME_NAME='<volser>' This will give you a history of how TSM used that tape, and the last entry is the final status of the volume. If the tapes are truely not assigned to anything (stgp, dbbackup, backupset, export,...) then just CHECKOUT LIBV with REM=NO and check them back in as STAT=SCR. Bill Boyer DSS, Inc.

Volumes with a status of private with no last use are defect, ie can't read the label. volume_name LIBRARY_NAME STATUS LAST_USE ACCESS 000041L1 ADIC100 Private Data 000001L1 ADIC100 Private Data 000068L1 ADIC100 Private Data 000061L1 ADIC100 Private Data 000051L1 ADIC100 Private Data 000047L1 ADIC100 Private Data 000045L1 ADIC100 Private Data 000079L1 ADIC100 Private Data 000008L1 ADIC100 Private Data 000002L1 ADIC100 Private Data 000135L1 ADIC100 Private Data 000006L1 ADIC100 Private Data 000009L1 ADIC100 Private Data 000022L1 ADIC100 Private Data TSM Server 4.2.1.9 W2k SP3 Mit freundlichen Gr|_en / Best Regards Markus Veit
