Rez, Since the volume is scratch there is no problem with the VRS. As long as the RMM CDS, TCDB volume entry, and the outboard library all agree on the status it is now up to the library to decide when and whether to mount that scratch volume. Depending on your library there may be different algorithms that determine which scratch logical volumes are selected for mounting.
It is normal that rmm remembers the data sets on a scratch volume, and it does so until the volume is reused. Some libraries have policies outboard for how long to keep data on scratch tapes, so most likley that data set name information is now redundant. However you do not need to do anything.... just wait for the volume to be reused. Perhaps you have way too many scratch logical volumes.
