Is it an option to use a h/w service provider such as BlueChip (UK-based)... or
any org in your location that would do a one-off?

Yes, I agree that the only safe way out is to leave it to the professionals
that created the problem.The first hurdle
So, for a shop about to decommission a system or storage device, we should
scratch all real data volumes,
create a volume full of junk data and
Repeatedly copy junk data from volume to volume
until it runs out of space
then expire the junk?
I did this with ICKDSF TRKFMT to erase dasd volumes..
Yes, I agree that the only safe way out is to leave it to the professionals
that created the problem.The first hurdle would be having a relationship
with them that allows me to make requests or demands.Unless it is a broken
situation that I can report to support as a 'problem' I have no
this up.

I have a TS7700 Grid of three
I'm afraid the best bet is to work with IBM VTL engineers to manually get rid
of them.

I'm not able to answer your question but I totally sympathize. There have been
many times where I wanted "systems programmer mode" to be enabled where the
@#$!!**@#$ software would let me do what I asked, regardless of whether it
thought it was smarter than I am and wouldn't do what I asked
I have a TS7700 Grid of three cluster members. In the past volumes were
created for a z/OS system that no longer exists. We have hundreds of tapes in
scratch (0012) and private (001F) category.So now, the data is taking up
space in my newest grid member because of COPYRFSH activities.
