Del,

MOUNTWAITFORDATA is set to yes and shows so in the query.

The SQL name is correct.

We have the DESTINATION set to tapepool in preparation for SAN backups.  I'm
running a test to see if going to a diskpool makes a difference, because
that's what my test servers do.

Ah, now it works.  I can see the container files in the RELOCATE screen.
This is temporarily not a problem because I'll set up an include to send the
metadata to a non-migrating diskpool.  Once we go to a SAN backup, is this
going to be a problem?  According to the Storage Agent documentation, I
can't have a disk storage pool as a destination, but the new pool isn't a
destination for the data.  Naturally, I know you thought of that and it will
work, Del.

Conclusion - with this version of TDP SQL 2.2 I must have the metadata in a
diskpool in order to RELOCATE the data during a restore.  The query of the
fileinfo will fail with an ACO0151E.  The GUI RELOCATE will simply yield a
blank window with no container files showing, and therefore, you will be
unable to do the relocate.

Thanks for the help!
