Try this: Update the access to READONLY instead of OFFSITE (even if you haven't brought the tape back yet). run: AUDIT VOLUME XXXXXX FIX=YES
If there really is 0 data, it won't call for a mount, it will just give you a message about fixing inconsistent data. Then the tape should go to EMPTY status. I just cleaned up 6 tapes that way; we are TSM on AIX 4.2.1.15. ************************************************************************ Wanda Prather The Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab 443-778-8769 [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Intelligence has much less practical application than you'd think" - Scott Adams/Dilbert ************************************************************************ -----Original Message----- From: Joni Moyer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 11, 2002 11:52 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: bad tape Hello everyone! I have a weird situation and I wasn't quite sure what to do. I have a bad tape that is vaulted. It has 0 data on it, but it won't delete from TSM. The reuse delay is way past expiration, so it isn't being held by that. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!! Joni Moyer Systems Programmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] (717)975-8338
