have primary storage pool with 4 volumes, have copy storage pool with 4
volumes.

situation:  will be testing our os390 system including adsm restoration
at our disaster
recovery site. would like to leave the primary storage pool volumes at
my production
site and take only the copy storage pool tapes to the disaster site.

question 1 : can files be restored directly from copy storage pool
volumes or do they have to
                  be restored to primary storage pool volumes first

question 2 :  if i marked the 4 primary storage pool volumes as damaged
once i was at
                    the disaster site would the restore storage pool
command then recreate
                    4 new primary storage pool tapes or would the 4 copy
storage pool tapes just get.
                    flagged as primary without an actual copy being
done...
