Try something similar to this in ARCCMDxx.
SETSYS TAPEDELETION( /* RETURN OLD TAPES TO */+
BACKUP(SCRATCHTAPE) /* SCRATCH POOL (BACKUP ONLY) */+
MIGRATION(SCRATCHTAPE) /* SCRATCH POOL (MIGRATION ONLY) */+
DUMP(SCRATCHTAPE) /* SCRATCH POOL (DUMP ONLY) */+
)
What messages/return codes to you get IN response to the following commands:
1) HSEND RECYCLE EXECUTE VOLUME(nnnnnn)
2) HSEND RECYCLE EXECUTE VOLUME(nnnnnn) FORCE

I issued the command - HSEND RECYCLE ALL EXECUTE PERCENTVALID(0) - but HSM
didn't release the tapes. In this LPAR these tapes belong to a dedicated HSM
pool. Would you hazard a guess as to why the tapes still show when I issue the

HSEND RECYCLE ALL EXECUTE PERCENTVALID(0) will release empty backup/ml2 tapes
from HSM control without a tape mount.
As long as the tape is marked "full" it will not be available for DF/HSM reuse.
You might also want to verify the settings for SETSYS TAPEDELETION.
A bit of history here:
In the early days, there was a concept of DF/HSM "ownership" of tape volumes.
The concept still exists, in the fact the you must take a specific action to
release a backup or migration volume.
Dump tapes need no special action.
If you *are* using DF/HSM pooling, these tapes should be undefined/ignored,...
by your tape management system.
Note: I am not advocating the DF/HSM pooling. I would much rather have the tape
management system handle them via the EDM interface).

I have noticed this strange oddity about HSM, we have several tapes with 0
files on them as shown by the TTOC. :
