> Dear ADSM-ers,
> I have a volume which is unreadable. No copy is available, so I would
> like the references to the data on the volume removed form the
> database, so a new backup will be taken tonight.
> I though an UPDATE VOLUME ACCESS=DESTROYED would do the trick, but the
> volume reference still exists.
> I then issued the RESTORE VOLUME command. The response in the log was:
>
> Restore of volumes in primary storage pool SMSPOOL started as process
> 65.
> Restore process 65 ended for volumes in storage pool SMSPOOL.
> Restore of volumes in primary storage pool SMSPOOL has ended.  Files
> Restored: 0, Bytes Restored: 0, Unreadable Files: 0, Unreadable Bytes:
> 0.
> Volume MVSADSMP.B0011358.BFS contains files that could not be
> restored.

> According to the  Admin Guide this should result in deleting the
> volume and all file references from the database, but when I issue a Q
> VOL I still see the volume listed!
> What am I doing wrong?
> Thanks in advance for any reply!
