Delete a volume
You can delete volumes from the NetBackup configuration. For example, if any of the following situations apply, you may want to delete the volume:
A volume is no longer used and you want to recycle it by relabeling it with a different media ID.
A volume is unusable because of repeated media errors.
A volume is past its expiration date or has too many mounts, and you want to replace it with a new volume.
A volume is lost and you want to remove it from the NetBackup database.
After a volume is deleted, you can discard it or add it back under the same or a different media ID.
