Subject:  Rman Bkups with copypool


Has anyone successfully restored RMAN/TDP data with copypool tapes?
We gave it a try this weekend for the first time at a DR drill and had no
success.
It almost appears like rman holds the storage pool name and possibly the
vol ser in its catalog and when it attempts to retrieve the data it can't
because TSM has the  primary copies marked as destroyed as designed.
