Not sure if you mean the actual external storage is really gone? If the volume is still physically accessible, run audit volume /TSM_POOL/19/data19 fix=yes.
If you haven't done so already, do: restore volume /TSM_POOL/19/data19 preview=yes Look in the activity log to see if it gives you volume names from your copy pool, so you can recreate the data (on other volumes in TSM_POOL ) from your copy pool tapes. If you can, the volume will go empty and you can delete it without the discardd=yes. If the storage is really physically gone, I think you could resort to creating a fake /TSM_POOL/19/data19 on another physical volume, then run audit volume /TSM_POOL/19/data19 fix=yes. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Davis, Jim J - (jjdavis) Sent: Wednesday, April 11, 2012 4:26 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [ADSM-L] delete volume failure under TSM 5.5.6 This is on a RHEL 5.7 x86_64 system; an old stgpool volume on external storage failed, so I marked it "destroyed", and then tried to run del vol /the/volume/name discarddata=yes That fails with ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: DELETE VOLUME /TSM_POOL/19/data19 discarddata=yes ANR0984I Process 1836 for DELETE VOLUME (DISCARD DATA) started in the BACKGROUND at 01:19:56 PM.
