Below is a message from the ABC client software one of the Admins sent me
from their system last night. I am guessing this is related to the disk that
failed in the disk pool where this node dumps data, yes but I could be
wrong. The other day a disk failed with 1.6% data left on it migrating to
tape so some data was lost.



Maybe someone more familiar with the ABC client can tell help clear this up?



Question related to this failure.



1.      If a client goes to restore a file that happened to be on that disk
when it failed, which means it did not go to tape, what will the client see
on their end? Will the GUI show the file as active/inactive or has TSM
dumped it from the DB?
2.      If the file happened to make it to the offsite tapes and the user
happened to try and restore that file what kind of message would they get?
