Restore DB has left damaged files

[rallingham]

Just got a call from a customer, running a V55 TSM server. Yes I know, out of support. They will be upgrading before long, however the TSM Server has gone bad and they have done a Restore DB. I don't have a lot of info yet, but I think they say there are damaged files. I know we can audit volumes and storage pools etc but does anyone have any idea how I should proceed with this customer?

Well we can close this one off. I looked at their system and ran a show damaged and there were over 3K files that said damaged. They had restored their DB and all the new data was not in the TSMDB so I just restored the storage pool. The tape was from 2 hours before the restore DB took place so I doubt they lost much. Most if not all the data would be picked up on the next back up.
