Purpose
Use the unlabelvol
command to load selected volumes and physically remove their Oracle Secure Backup volume labels and backup data.
Each volume has a volume label stored at Beginning of Tape (BOT). The label consists of the Volume ID, the barcode (if any), and other information about the volume. Typically, you use the unlabelvol
command to remove all traces of a backup and its associated volume label from an unexpired tape and from the Oracle Secure Backup catalog.

command.
Syntax
unlabelvol::=
unlab•elvol [ --drive/-D drivename ] [ --force/-f ] [ --obtaropt/-o obtar-option ]... [ se-range ]
Semantics
Specifies the name of the drive to be used to unlabel the volume. If you do not specify a tape drive name, then the drive variable must be set.
Forces obtool
to ignore the expiration policy for the volume. If the --force
option is not used and the volume is not expired according to its expiration policy, then unlabelvol
fails.
Specifies the range of storage elements holding the volumes to be unlabeled. If omitted, the volume currently loaded in the drive is unlabeled. Refer to "se-range" for a description of the se-range placeholder.
