Mark,

We have had to do this on several occasions. Here is what we have found
to work:

1. do a restore volume with preview set to yes
2. look in the activity log for the messages telling you which volumes
would be mounted during the restore.
3. recall these volumes from offsite storage
4. insert the volumes to ADSM (library or what ever)
5. do the restore volume command
6. send the offsite volumes back out

Thank You,

                Subject:        Tape Volumes

                Hello all, I have defined a primary tape storage pool
that I use to migrate
                the data of a primary disk storage pool. I also have 2
tape copy pools
                defined, one an on site copy and the other an off site
copy. My question is
                this, one of the tapes from the primary storage
(migrate) pool has become
                unreadable and I marked it as destroyed. How do I
recreate the data on that
                tape. Should I restore the volume from one of the
copies?

                Thanks in advance,
