Hi If you are sure the data on those volumes has no value anymore, you can delete them with : Delete volume XXXX discard=yes This will remove any reference from the files originally written on those volumes from TSM DB. Note that existing copies from the files in the copy storage pools will also be deleted ! Cheers.
