Hello.  I work with Tim.

No, the Volume Seq goes up to Volume Seq: 10,019.  We want to delete all of 
them actually.

Also, yes, we tried todate=today-5 and also more specifically todate=05/24/2013 
totime=05:11:32

Is that the complete output from " q volh t=dbs", i.e. is there only one 
snapshot backup?

TSM won't delete the last db backup of a given type without a force action.

Issuing this command doesn't delete any vol historys for dbsnapshots

tsm: TSMPOK_SERVER1>del volh type=dbsnapshot todate=today-6

Do you wish to proceed? (Yes (Y)/No (N)) y ANR2467I DELETE VOLHISTORY: 0 
sequential volume history entries were successfully deleted.
