Well, I tried the audit command. Now I have a dead-lock situation.
I did not know that the command would attempt to read the old tape. The
3490 drives and the chipid had been taken offline. Then the 3490 powered
down.
When I issued the command, HSM wants a 3490 tape drive I receive:
STC05537 IEF244I DFSMSHSM DFSMSHSM - UNABLE TO ALLOCATE 1 UNIT(S)
AT LEAST 1 OFFLINE UNIT(S) NEEDED.
STC05537 IEF877E DFSMSHSM NEEDS 1 UNIT(S)
...
STC05537 *0075 IEF238D DFSMSHSM - REPLY DEVICE NAME OR 'CANCEL'.
We tried CANCEL but the request just comes back immediately.
And we can't vary the CHPID online while the request is active.

Tony,
ARC0378I TTOC RECORD AND TAPE MEDIA CONTENTS ARE INCONSISTENT....
You can fix this error by issuing the following:
HSEND AUDIT MEDIACONTROLS VOLUMES(volser) FIX ODS(your.dsn)
For the tapes with "IEC514D DCK OR LBL ERR" you will have to delete either
the T records in the OCDS or their associated records in the BCDS or MCDS
depending whether they are backup or migration tapes.

They are in both catalogs. I am not currently concerned with the CA-1
catalog since CA-1 normally scratches the tape when HSM recycles a tape.
Anyway, I can handle CA-1 when/if I get HSM cleaned up.
I am trying to clean-up un-readable 3490 tapes listed in the output from:
HSEND LIST TTOC SELECT(FULL) ODS ('xxxxxxx')

Hi Tony,
Listed in the system catalog or the HSM tape catalog, both?
You should be able to list the catalogue entries, and IF they match, you
could reset the HSM expiration values to a date in the close future, and
let them expire through normal HSM processing.
Once the datasets are expired and the tapes are scratched you should be
able to remove or replace the volumes or mark them as deleted.
HTH,
Linda

I am looking at my HSM TTOC listing. I have 3 old 3490s that are still
listed. I actually have the tapes, but they are unreadable. On two of them,
I get a label error:
IEC514D DCK OR LBL ERR
On the other one, the TTOC shows:
RC0378I TTOC RECORD AND TAPE MEDIA CONTENTS ARE INCONSISTENT....
Since I can't migrate these volumes, how do I just delete these active
tapes from HSM? They are at least 15 years old so I am not worried about
the data that may have been on them.
