Hello all,

I can't answer this question because I have never had to use a point in time
restore function. It seems as though over the weekend a SAN controller
upgrade has led to whole file systems lost and parts of others on a node.
The person responsible wants to restore only those files that were on the
system as of November 29th and not have it write over any existing files.
The admin seems to think that because TSM is restoring more files than the
file system can hold it is restoring more than it is supposed to. Can anyone
lend a hand in describing if a point in time would do this and if so why? If
the admin is doing this correctly why would the mount not have enough space
if in fact he made it as large as it was previously?



Thanks,
