Thanks for the response. However, this doesn't seem to be all I need to do. I did this command but the volume still shows as being in-use/owned.
I had to manually changed the status to SCRATCH to release it.

For example, here is the history of a volume. The last use was to the server CAPELLA which has been decommissioned. It also happens to be a database backup for that now defunct server. Can I just initialize it with extreme prejudice ? Will it let me ? A simple delete volume doesnt work since this server doesn't own it eventhough it is the library owning server!
