return export volume to scratch
Good Morning All, I have a tape volume that was used to export a node. I would like to check that volume back in as scratch. I'm having trouble finding the answer. Here is an excerpt from the actlog showing what I have tried. ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: CHECKIN libvolume 3575lib 0ACFB3 status=scratch checklabel=yes ANR8443E CHECKIN LIBVOLUME: Volume 0ACFB3 in library 3575LIB cannot be assigned a status of SCRATCH. ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: LABEL libvolume 3575lib search=yes labelsource=barcode checkin=scratch ANR8816E LABEL LIBVOLUME: Volume 0ACFB3 in library 3575LIB cannot be labelled because it is currently defined in a storage pool or in the volume history file. ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: DELETE VOLUME 0ACFB3 discarddata=yes ANR2401E DELETE VOLUME: Volume 0ACFB3 is not defined in a storage pool. Any tips? Thanks, Jon Martin
Re: return export volume to scratch
You will need to check QUERY LIBVOLUME and make sure the volume is there and the status is PRIVATE. Then you can issue the command UPDATE LIBVOLUME 0ACFB3 STATUS=SCRATCH then I think you will need to issue the comand CHECKOUT LIBVOLUME 3575LIB 0ACFB3 REMOVE=NO and then you can try the CHECKIN command again.

Re: return export volume to scratch
Jon, You can not check the volume back in as scratch until the information in your volume history file has been deleted for that tape. Use the command TSM h q volhist to see more information on using the q volhist command. This can be used to identify the tape and then once all the parameters are correct to only bring back the tape in question, you can change the word query to delete to remove the entry from the volume history file. Once this has been done the tape can be checked back in as ascratch tape. HIH Steve Copper -Original Message- From: Martin, Jon R.

Re: return export volume to scratch
Thanks to all for the replies, The volhist information was the problem. Here is what I had to do del volhist todate=+1 type=export In this case the volume was automatically returned to scratch status once it was removed from volhist.

Re: return export volume to scratch
Export volume information is stored in the volumehistory. Issue Q VOLHIST T=EXPORT to get a list and DEL VOLHIST T=EXPORT to delete them. Once the volume isn't listed anywhere, you can then check it in as scratch. Bill -Original Message- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Martin, Jon R.
