Thanks for the replies Howard and Steve.  

I guess I am looking for a confirmation that recalling specific offsite
copypool tapes is not handled by using "move drmedia" commands.  It
won't let me "move drmedia volnnn wherestate=vault
tostate=vaultretrieve", or "move drmedia volnnn
tostate=courierretrieve".  So, it looks like I must manually edit the
vaultretrieve report and add the volume(s) needed and edit the vault
inventory report to remove the volumes.  After the tapes arrive, follow
the steps to restore the volume and send the copypool tapes back to the
vault.

Hi Larry

If its the mismatch between the DRM location and the real location that
bothers you,

upd vol <vol_name> location=''  access=readonly

will put it back to mountable.

Regards

Steve.

Hello list,

I have a damaged primary storage pool volume.  Fortunately, the data is
on copy pool volumes.  I found a nicely detailed procedure for handling
the restoral of the data from mail-archive.
http://www.mail-archive.com/adsm-l AT vm.marist DOT edu/msg25446/adsm_restore_a
_tape_volume.doc

The part that I do not see how to do "cleanly" is recalling the specific
volumes from offsite using "move drmedia" commands.  I know I can
manually add the volumes to the "vaultretrieve" list and remove them
from the "vault" inventory report.  But that doesn't feel right.  Am I
missing something?

Thanks,
Larry McNutt
