We had a situation where we had to restore a large  production
server. This involved multiple tape mounts to rebuild
the server. We have a large external tape library and multiple
tape drives which are in STK silo's. Some of the
tapes are in the silos and others are filed outside
in a racked tape library. My question is, is there a
way to get a picking list of tapes needed for the restore
prior to the start of the restore. It would be
a big time saver to stage the tapes or enter
the tapes in the silo's before the tape is called
to be mounted.
I know this was not easily done with ADSM, however we have
recently installed TSM 3.7.1 and was wondering if enhancements
have been made to enable you to do this with Tivoli Storage
manager.
