In the past I was able to restore my TSM database and servers, I am testing 
this again and it fails

1. I have access only to the copy storage pool tapes

2. I successfully loaded the database and started the adsm server

The storage pool I am trying to restore from is called NETWARE_COPY, its 
primary storage pool is NETWARE_TAPE

After I started the server i updated the NETWARE_COPY volumes as "Read Only", 
which worked

   UPDATE VOL * WHERESTGPOOL=NETWARE_COPY ACCESS=READO 
  
I then tried to update the NETWARE_COPY volumes as "Offsite" which failed

UPDATE VOL * WHERESTGPOOL=NETWARE_COPY ACCESS=OFFSITE

ANR2117E UPDATE VOLUME: Access mode for volume A00666 cannot be changed to 
"offsite" -  volume either does not belong to a copy storage pool or from a 
device class of DEVTYPE=SERVER. 

I then updated them to Unavailable which worked 

 UPDATE VOL * WHERESTGPOOL=NETWARE_TAPE ACCESS=UNAVAILABLE

But when client restore started it got

ANR0565W Retrieve or restore failed for session 546 for node INFOSYS (NetWare) 
- storage volume A01290 inaccessible

A01920 is in the NETWARE_TAPE pool


I have since seen references to DEVTYPE=SERVER for Database backups and Storage 
Pool copies ????
