Scratch volume volume name is empty but will not be deleted - volume state is "mountablenotinlib".

Explanation

The named scratch volume is empty but will not be deleted at this time because the state of the volume is MOUNTABLENOTINLIB. Possible reasons include, a MOVE MEDIA command was used to check the volume out of the library and the volume was subsequently checked into the library using CHECKIN LIBVOL without first running a MOVE MEDIA command to update the volume state back to MOUNTABLEINLIB state. If this should happen, the QUERY MEDIA will display the volume to be in MOUNTABLEINLIB state since QUERY MEDIA does verify if the volume is actually in the library before displaying the state of the volume.

System action

The volume is not deleted.

User response

The following steps may be used if the volume is to be deleted:
  1. Run CHECKOUT LIBVOL to check the affected volume out of the library, the REMOVE=NO option may be used to prevent actual volume movement
  2. Run MOVE MEDIA * STG=* WHERESTATE=MOUNTABLENOTINLIB WHERESTATUS=EMPTY. When the volume is moved by MOVE MEDIA WHERESTATE=MOUNTABLENOTINLIB, the scratch empty volume is deleted
  3. Check the volume back into the library using CHECKIN LIBVOL command
