Could you generate a backupset for them on new tape, and then delete their data from storage pools when it's done? That way TSM doesn't have to track it at all.

We have a department leaving our TSM system that would like to have the tapes we've been using for them -- they'd keep them on a shelf and presumably use tsmtape (or whatever) if they needed the old data. I'm not sure how to handle that request; I could mark the volumes 'offsite', but they're really going out of the system completely. But I don't want to remove the contents of the tape, or move the tape contents to some other volume, so 'delete volume' doesn't sound right. Any suggestions? TSM 5.3, running on RHEL.
