Justin,

The way that you can go about recreating copypool volumes is very simple as
long as the primary volumes still exist.  What you can do is mark the
copypool volume as destroyed.  Then, run a backup storage pool of the
primary storage pool that the copy volume was apart of. Example:

Primary Stg Pool: StgPoolA; contains volume called "A"

Copy Stg Pool: CopyofStgPoolA; contains copy of volume A called CopyA

Mark "CopyA" destroyed.  Run a backup storage pool process on StgPoolA, and
the TSM DB will see that volume CopyA has been destroyed and will recreate
the copypool volume that has been marked destroyed from the primary volume
called "A".

Hope this helps and I didn't confuse you to much :-)

Regards,
Sean
