Just want to corroborate my experience here.
If I clone a save set that lives *only* on clone volumes, and I don't
specify both the ssid and the cloneid together like:
nsrclone -b pool -S ssid/cloneid
but I instead specify only the ssid like:
nsrclone -b pool -S ssid
then NW will always request the volume with the oldest clone time, correct?
Caveat: I'm assuming that you don't mark that specific instance
(ssid/cloneid) of the save set as 'suspect' or 'offsite' using nsrmm. In
that case, it would select the next available one that is not marked
like that, right?
I have some save sets that were originally written to file type devices,
subsequently cloned to tape clone volumes and later staged to another
tape clone volume so the data no longer lives on the file type device,
leaving those save sets now solely on clone tapes. Also, I have a few
save sets wherein the media database entries for the original save sets
were removed, but not the clone entries. Seems that NW always requests
the clone volume with the oldest clonetime.
