I get "entry not defined". Unfortunately that doesn't help, because on my playground I have duplex tapes with their primary ML2 tape still existent, and I get the same "not defined" message.

I haven't looked up the syntax. Actually, if they are not in the TTOC you can probably just expire them. Not sure if you are using RMM, TMS, or other, but RMM had a quirk, whereby if the tape ever had a permanent error (as defined by having a SWAP associated) the volume would not go scratch until replaced. Don't remember the exact details.

The LIST TTOC is only showing my VTS-based ML2 tapes which have no duplex. BTW, LIST TTOC does show duplex volumes if they exist. :-) These duplex tapes all have old create dates and so I am confident they are orphans. Now, how to get rid of them. I'll try the TAPEREPL process in a test environment to see what happens. Thanks.

Without going into a lot of detail, if a dataset spans from 1 volume to another the 1st volume in the sequence "owns it". Duplex volumes are never referenced by DFHSM directly. HSEND LIST TTOC will list all primary voulmes. I expect the duplex volumes will also be shown, but I am not sure. It has been too long since I've duplexed. This *will* show the predecessor and successor volumes. I expect the "offending" volsers to be successor volumes. HSEND LIST TTOC(volser) will give you a list of datasets on the volume. Use this to obtain the "English" name of the datset. At this point there are 2 choices. HDELETE 'DSN' for the dataset that spans volumes. This will automatically delete the duplex volumes. Use the output of the HSEND LIST TTOC to obtain the "owning" primary volume. Recycle the "owning" primary volume. The "offending" duplex volumes will be deleted as part of the recycle process.

If I try to do DELVOL, I get an error saying they're not defined migrate volumes. What we're doing is migrating our HSM ML2 environment into a VTS (replicated) and eliminating the duplex tapes. I have these 4 duplex tapes from 2015 and 2017 that I can't get rid of. I think HSM still knows about these tapes and if I try to scratch them in the TMS, it says they're owned by an external data manager (ie HSM). Any thoughts on how to cleanly get rid of these tapes? I've looked at TAPEREPL but don't know if that would be a solution or not. TIA, Rex The information contained in this message is confidential, protected from disclosure and may be legally privileged.
