Hi all,
A couple of days ago I had a problem with missing slots in my 3583 library.
With your advice I managed to discover that it was due to a corrupt volume that
would not read during and 'AUDIT LIBR'. I have subsequently set the status of
the tape to 'DESTROYED' and recalled necessary volumes from offsite storage to
restore the volume. Last night I issued command: 'RESTORE VOL 000413L1' with
000413L1 out of the labrary, the 3 offsite tapes needed for restore (set to
'READONLY') and a scratch volume in the library. I left it running overnight
and have come in this morning to query the results of the restore to find the
following:
'Q ACTLOG BEGIND=-1' shows (amongst other things) the following related to the
restore:
12-05-2004 20:13:14 ANR0986I Process 147 for RESTORE VOLUME running in the
BACKGROUND processed 47168 items for a total of
22,784,916,140 bytes with a completion state of SUCCESS
at 20:13:14.
12-05-2004 20:13:14 ANR1240I Restore of volumes in primary storage pool
BACKUP_TAPE has ended. Files Restored: 47168, Bytes
Restored: 22784916140, Unreadable Files: 0, Unreadable
Bytes: 0.
12-05-2004 20:13:14 ANR1256W Volume 000413L1 contains files that could not be
restored.
If I issue 'Q VOL 000413L1 F=D' it shows me:
Volume Name: 000413L1

Has the restore worked as it shows a completion state of 'SUCCESS' or was it
incomplete as TSM is telling me the corrupt vol. contains files that could not
be restored. If the restore was successful should it not show 'ANR2034E QUERY
VOLUME: No match found using this criteria' when I input 'Q VOL 000413L1' - why
is TSM telling me that this volume status is 'FULL' (Pct. Util: 52.9)?
Many thanks for any advice you can offer me.
Regards, C. Adams.
