This has appeared several times here. Again, I append, with credit to Paul Seay, a script to identify all volumes:
select volume_name from libvolumes where
status='Private' and libvolumes.volume_name
not in (select volume_name from volumes) and
libvolumes.volume_name not in (select
volume_name from volhistory where type in
('BACKUPFULL','BACKUPINCR','DBSNAPSHOT','EXPO-
RT'))

I've seen the same thing, with versions of *DSM as far back as 3.7. Do a q contents on the volume to see what's in there. I've just leaned to live with and work around it.

Subject Question About Tapes In Lib as Private - But No History / Data On them
We have found a strange situation with Tapes in our library I'm hoping that some one could clarify what we are seeing...
Libvol Info : States its Provate but no data - Its in the Library tsm: MSPSTG5>q libvol 3494lib1 i01448
Library Name Volume Name Status Owner Last Use Home Device Element Type ------------ ----------- ---------- ---------- --------- ------- ------ 3494LIB1 I01448 Private
Q vol States that TSM DB tsm: MSPSTG5>q vol I01448 f=d ANR2034E QUERY VOLUME: No match found using this criteria. ANS8001I Return code 11.
I looked in the volume history file and did a grep for I01448 and its not there, we also verified that the library and tape vol categories matched... . Can I assume that this tape can be Scratch? (I can make scratch by checkout / chekin process. We are also wondering how this may have happened... If the data was expired it should go prom private to scratch... right?
Any confirmation would be great, because we could regain many tapes.
Thanks a bunch!!!!!!
