OH no. If you did a "delete vol ### discardd=yes" on the primary storagepool
tape, you have removed ALL database entries to that data. It is now
non-recoverable, unless you restore your database.
  The correct way to do it was to get all the data off as possible, mark the
tape as destroyed & run a "restore volume ###". ADSM will then attempt to
re-create the data from the copypool tapes. Once ADSM has copied all the
data back onto a primary storagepool tape, you can get rid of the old tape.
