Hi Niklas,
What's happening if you put the tape as destroyed? and do a restore media to 
reproduce that data so you can expire the information as normal?

Ämne: Running makedamaged on an object when the storagepool doesn'texist??

Hello

I've got some objects in my database that points to a volume that does not 
exist anymore
but TSM still think it does.... and that gives me a lot of errors when I'm 
running expiration
An audit of the DB would solve these problem but the db is too big to do that 
in a reasonable
time.

An example:

tsm: PROD-ADSM3>show bfo 0 10554579

Bitfile Object: 0.10554579
  Active
**Archival Bitfile Entry
  Bitfile Type: PRIMARY  Storage Format: 9
  Bitfile Size: 0.46143257  Number of Segments: 1
  Storage Pool ID: 12  Volume ID: 88522  Volume Name: 007667
**Archival Bitfile Entry
  Bitfile Type: COPY  Storage Format: 9
  Bitfile Size: 0.46143257  Number of Segments: 1
  Storage Pool ID: -3  Volume ID: 38548  Volume Name: *unknown*
**Archival Bitfile Entry
  Bitfile Type: COPY  Storage Format: 9
  Bitfile Size: 0.46143257  Number of Segments: 1
  Storage Pool ID: -4  Volume ID: 75933  Volume Name: 006267

The pool -3 is an old copypool (bunkercopy), which doesn't exist anymore.

Trying to run makedamaged:
tsm: PROD-ADSM3>makedamaged 0 10554579
ANR2022E MAKEDAMAGED: One or more parameters are missing.
ANS8001I Return code 3.

tsm: PROD-ADSM3>makedamaged -3 0 10554579
Pool -3 is not Defined.
ANS8001I Return code 11.

tsm: PROD-ADSM3>makedamaged bunkercopy 0 10554579
Pool BUNKERCOPY is not Defined.
ANS8001I Return code 11.

Makedamaged command wants you to specify the storagepool for the object,
does anyone know another way to mark the object damaged?

There's not so much documentation about makedamaged....

Med vänlig hälsning
