John, If TSM thinks that the cartridges are already offsite, then you should be able to remove them from the library using library commands. See publication 96845 Chapter 4, Export Data Cartridges: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/prod/L700.tape#hic

Now, all I know is the volume names that I need and their slot numbers, but since TSM doesn't see them, I can't figure out how to get the library robot to remove them. How can I tell our STK L700 (or TSM) to remove them? Obviously, I do not want to visually look for these things. ;-) Thinking of getting TSM to audit the library and check them back in, but am afraid of changing the status of the volumes. The TSM Admin is on vacation and I am desperately trying to keep anyone from calling him, including me. With regards, Jon R.
