Hi,

you are hit by this apar:
IT02929 - ONE RESTORE SESSION MOUNTS BOTH PRIMARY AND COPYPOOL VOLUMES

call for an Efix.

workaround: set your copypool(s) to unavailable or your volumes to offsite
while restoring (but that's pretty uncomfortable in many cases...).

Regards,
Alex

Betreff:        [ADSM-L] Restores using copypool tapes instead of primary
pool tapes on 7.1.1.100
Gesendet von:   "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <ADSM-L AT VM.MARIST DOT EDU>



Hello,

Before I open an PMR, I thought I would put this out to see if anyone
else is having a similar issue.

TSM servers are 7.1.1.100 on AIX
TSM client is 6.4.0.1 on AIX

I upgraded my TSM servers from 6.4.0.1 to 7.1.1.100 last week. Since
then I've noticed that restores demand copypool tapes instead of
tapes in the primary pool. Below is a snippet of the server log from
yesterday afternoon during a restore. I have two copypools, one local
and the other on a remote TSM server. You'll notice in the log that
the restore begins with a primary pool tape, A00397, but immediately
closes that volume and requests a remote copypool tape. This request
is refused because I brought the remote TSM server down prior to
starting the restore. TSM again opens then immediately closes primary
tape A00397 and then opens a local copypool tape, ACC308L6. This
continues until the restore completes. It appears that TSM will only
use the primary pool tape if it has exhausted all other sources.
