I always just run an AUDIT LIBR CHECKL=B from the library client. This normally reconciles the ownership of tapes on the library manager.

A very interesting command. I just checked my 5.3 Administrators reference and no where does it list "remote" as a valid "type=" option and of course does not list "force=yes" either. But it doesn't include the "volume=" keyword, either. When did these options arrive/appear ? What server level are you running (I am 5.3.2.3). I am not doubting you, but I would like some more info on these non-existant options before I try them, since we have 4-TSM servers interminggled with each other, sharing two library-manager servers across all 4 ? Can Andy or anyone else elighten me ?

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 ?
