Hi Jim,

    It sounds as if there was a problem somewhere in the process.  Were
there any errors reported during the restore vol process or did it complete
successfully?

    Were there any problems on the client side?  Is the restore just for
some files that were accidentally deleted, did the client hard drive fail or
was there another issue?  (If the client drive failed the problem may be
related to the client and not the volume restore).

    If the volume restore was successful, Tivoli automatically updates the
information so that the data on the new volume can be accessed.  I guess I'm
saying that a little more background info is needed to give you a more
specific response unless one of my questions above has helped.

Hello,

   I restore the volume, and made the volume readw.  However, I am not
seeing the data that was on the other tape eligible for a restore.
Infact in the client gui, I am not seeing anything to restore, it looks
like it has been deleted.  Is there something I am missing, like telling
Tivoli this is a new tape, or committing it to the database.

Thank you

Jim

The restore vol XXXXXX command will mark volume XXXXXX as destroyed.
Upd vol st=reado/readw for the volume(s) brought back will also be
needed.

Karel

Mark the tape that is broken as 'destroyed'

Run a restore volume XXXXXX preview=yes

This will give you the list of tapes to return (it could be a long list)

Check them into your library as 'private' volumes

Run the restore volume XXXXXX

That *should* do it.

cheers,
