The Library Manager knows the owner and the last-use and the status. The Library Client, i.e., the owner knows nothing about the volume; there's nothing in the volhist with that volume name. "Q vol" returns not found. The volume has never been used on the client.
Fred - This general type of situation has been seen a few times in the past, as I remember. You may have to perform DELete VOLHistory with Type=REMote, as noted in ADSM QuickFacts. See past reports in the List archives. Try Query VOLHistory with Type=REMote to get a sense of the situation. It might be some variant situation. The historic Activity Log might reveal what happened. Something analogous occurs in ordinary processing, where a scratch volume gets associated with a storage pool as a process is about to take place, but that doesn't get started or is cancelled before the first I/O, and the volume ends up in limbo. (The following will usually find such volumes: Select * from VOLUMES where STATUS='EMPTY' and SCRATCH='YES' and PENDING_DATE is NULL) Richard Sims
