I'm not sure about AIX, but under MVS, the values for Preview are either
"YES" or "NO".  I specify Yes to get a list of the volumes I will need to
recall from off site storage, then when I have the volumes back, issue the
same command with preview=no.

Since ASDM is ADSM, I would expect the server functions to be the same on
both platforms......

One of my DLT tapes has become a tastey meal for one of my tape drives, and
I now have the pleasure of restoring the tape from a copy storagepool.  I
read in the Administrators Guide that there is a PREVIEW=VOLUMESONLY for
the restore v command, but this is an unknown option to the server..

What gives?  Is there a workaround besides going through the motions of
a restore volume preview=yes?  I certainly hope that the 'volumesonly' feature
of this command will be returned!
