APAR IT07321: RESTORE SESSION MOUNTS PRIMARY AND COPYPOOL VOLUMES CONCURRENTLY 
THEN TOGGLES BETWEEN THEM AS INPUT 
VOLUMES<http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1IT07321&myns=apar&mynp=DOCTYPEcomponent&mync=E&cm_sp=apar-_-DOCTYPEcomponent-_-E>




The record has been closed. A programming error was found. The problem will be 
corrected. A fix is pending.




I ran into this problem with restores when some of the copy pool tapes were in 
read only or read write status.  It would constantly switch between the primary 
and copy pool tapes.

I wonder why your restore is pulling tapes from "offsite" (I assume).  Are

the volumes coming out of a CopyPool?

If you are restoring files to a client, they would normally be restored

from the Primary Pool.



You could also do a select on the CONTENTS table for a particular file

name to find out what volumes it is on, BUT, that isn't going to show you

whether the file is Active or Inactive, or on what date it was backed up :



select volume_name, filespace_name, file_name, node_name from contents

where node_name='YOUR_NODE' and file_name in ('FILE001','FILE002',

'FILE06192015')



tsm: >select tabname, colname from syscat.columns where tabname='CONTENTS'



TABNAME                COLNAME

------------------     ------------------

CONTENTS               VOLUME_NAME

CONTENTS               NODE_NAME

CONTENTS               TYPE

CONTENTS               FILESPACE_NAME

CONTENTS               FILE_NAME

CONTENTS               AGGREGATED

CONTENTS               FILE_SIZE

CONTENTS               SEGMENT

CONTENTS               CACHED

CONTENTS               FILESPACE_ID
