It would help if we could see the output of the following command:
q volh t=dbb
It might be that this is the most recent DB backup in which case it won't let you delete it.

I'm failing to delete the volume histories on the following volumes (LTO-2 tapes):
tsm: TSM>q libv
Library Name Volume Name Status Owner Last Use Home ------------ ----------- ---------- ---------- --------- ---- LB6.0.0.3 ITG010L2 Private DbBackup 41 LB6.0.0.3 ITG033L2 Private DbBackup 64 LB6.0.0.3 ITG044L2 Private DbBackup 48
The command I run is:
tsm: TSM>del volhist type=dbbackup todate=today
Do you wish to proceed? (Yes (Y)/No (N)) yes ANR2467I DELETE VOLHISTORY: 0 sequential volume history entries were successfully deleted.
None of the dbbackup volumes are deleted though. Why? This has always worked in the past. Anyone have any idea? Logs don't give any error:
ANR2017I Administrator DUDE issued command: DELETE VOLHISTORY type=dbbackup todate=today ANR2467I DELETE VOLHISTORY: 0 sequential volume history entries were successfully deleted.
I need an answer fast as I've only got 1 scratch tape left because the dbbackups keep stealing tapes. The database is only 14MB so it should fit on one tape easy. Thanks in advance,
Alex
