If you are referring to the file system file which TSM maintains with volume history information, it is a waste of time to make any changes to the file, as it is a generated copy of the volume history info maintained in the TSM database.
You may housekeep the volume history information, by age, but be careful to not lose information which may help in research, and be especially careful not to wipe out database backup records which would be needed in a TSM database restoral.

Just looked at the volume history file again. Redoing the disaster recovery plans for tsm. Is there any reason to keep the "STGNEW" entries that build up in this file? Been removing the "STGDEL" entries during daily processing. Didn't see anything in the manuals about keeping this file from growing forever.
