After running the preview for restore, we mark all needed volumes as
unavailable.  Both onsite and offsite ones.  This has usually made them
static enough to not have a problem at restore time.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Have had that happen.  Reason is this is a dynamic system with expirations
and reclamations running.  By the time you got back the tapes requested, the
data on some of them was somewhere else according to the TSM DB.  Run the
"preview" again.  I've had several out of about a dozen or so restores where
I needed to make a "second pass" to get everything.

Had this happen again yesterday.

server 4.2.1
platform solaris 8
storage 3590-b drives in ibm 3494 library.

Issued the "restore volume" with wait=yes and preview=yes Captured activity
log, but when I did the restoer, it called for two other volumes.  I really
don't think I missed it.

Anyone have an idea or a script for determining needed offsite volumes for a
restore?

Thanks for the help.
