Before you issue the Delvol command with the purge parameter, you might want to List the contents of the tape. Then issue Hrecover commands against the list contents after Delvol'ing the ML2 volume.
I'm assuming you have backups of the ML2 data.

Unfortunately there is no DUPLEXING performed in this LPAR (as per client's wishes). I would like to empty this tape so as to prevent recalls of dsns from that tape. I checked the doc and if my understanding is correct I should use the DELVOL command. Could I issue command: HSEND DELVOL 048924 PRIMARY? Would this do what I want i.e. empty out the tape? Thanks in advance for your helpful advice. Find local businesses and services in your area with Yahoo!7 Local.
