others have probably already said this but
1) at the atl on its screen force it to perform an inventory
2) once #1 finishes perform, within adsm, an audit libr
3) double check volume list against libvolume list, the above should
have corrected things but if not try a checkin libvol libname volser
STATUS=PRIVATE you might have initially checked them in scratch but
they have data on them now and thus are private, they will roll
scratch when they are emptied.\
4) any "funny" volumes perform move data's against
5) any funny volume move data's that blow, perform audit volumes
against them, then redo the move data
ya might have some data loss but getting some back now (the sooner the
better) will reduce the loss later. Also if the tape contains
unchanging files from the server, adsm will figure out it doesn't have
a copy any more and take a fresh one.
hope this helps,
later,
Dwight

I'm new to this forum - so have mercy if this has been covered in the recent
past.
In my efforts to get a complete EXPORT NODE I have identified in the
activity log four (4) volumes that are either "unavailable" or
"inaccessible" to the EXPORT NODE process. A couple of these volumes I have
already identified as having defective media - the others are simply lost.
This of course means that I do not have a complete/successful EXPORT NODE.
My question is this: Through what command or process do I use to identify
those volumes in my offsite tape copy pool that hold the data I need to
recover?.
Thanks,
Shaun
