A few months ago all of our 3480/3490 tapes were destroyed. Something like over 30,000. Not to mention the REEL tapes that are still defined but non-existent.

I would like to remove these from the RMM database.

Something is telling me in the back of my mind "Don't try do do it all at once". I have nightmares of journals filling up, CDS corruption, etc, and other Bad Things, all of which I'd rather avoid.

My environment:
z/OS 1.13 on z10, current maintenance.
3 LPAR resource sharing SYSPLEX.

I have been told that the only valid tape volumes are 05*. Anything else is obsolete and can be deleted. Oh, and these are all non-SMS and are actually STK/Oracle 94somethingorother residing in a STK/Oracle Silo. If that makes a difference.

So, what is a good way to approach this?
Any suggestions welcome, and thanks in advance,
Jeff
