Two questions:

First question: I recently discovered we had lost a single 3590 tape from
our primary backup pool.   Per the Admin. Ref., we marked the volume as
"destroyed" and then used Restore Stgpool to successfully reconstruct the
files.  In looking at the description for Update Volume, it looks like we
could have used that, too.  So the question is: would Restore Volume have
worked just as well?

Second question:  After the Restore Stgpool completed, the destroyed volume
still showed up as a libvol in scratch status.    Shouldn't I now do a
Delete Volume to permanently remove this lost tape from ADSM?  Or, does
ADSM have some other way of knowing to never try to mount this volume
again?
