No, there is no function like this in TSM. However, a compromise solution
would be to run a SELECT statement against the VOLUMEUSAGE table to
determine which volumes contain data for a particular node. You can also
filter on file space name and copy type (backup or archive).This will most
likely give you a superset of the tapes, so you'd be checking in more than
you need... as I said, it's a compromise.

Querying What tapes you need for a restore?
Is there a way to query a list of tapes needed for a given restore prior
to
doing the restore such that you can ensure all those tapes are in your
library prior to kicking off the restore? I think the normal mode of
operation is if you were to do a restore that involved several tapes and
some tapes were in your library and some were not, it would move along
fine
with those tapes it has but the restore would halt and issue a mount
request
for those that aren't in the library. I'd like to avoid that mount request
and just ensure all the tapes are in the library beforehand.
