I had a similar problem once and TSM gave me this nifty command: delete volhist todate=today type=remote volume=volumename force=yes
Works well if somehow a tape's status has been lost between server to server communications, where your library manager shows the tape as type remote (meaning that it has been given control over to another server), and the server that is supposed to be using it shows either no info in the volhist or the last entry shows it as being stgdelete. Hope this helps.

The library manager server says the tape is owned/used by a "remote" system/server. When I check the "remote" system, it says it knows nothing about the tape. How can I convince the library manager server that the tape is gone/deleted/kaput so I can relabel the tape and reuse it ? DELETE VOLUME ... DISCARDDATA=YES does nothing. Is there some kind of hidden "force=yes IreallyMeanIt=yes" option I can use ?
