"delete vol xxxxxx discarddata=yes" This will delete references to the data on a tape and return the tape to scratch. I hope you are running full backups on a regular basis if you are going to delete backups after less than 2 weeks. P.S. Check your versions and retention settings too.

A few weeks ago my first set of tapes were full so I got another set of 7 and checked them in TSM. All worked fine. Now the second set is full and I need to reuse the first set for backups. TSM will not allow me to checkin the volumes as scratch resulting in failing backups with an error : ANR1405W Scratch volume mount request denied - no scratch volume available. What do I have to do in order to reuse my old set of tapes? Thanks in advance, Angelos _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx
