Hi. Which TSM version? I used the following long time ago... It is a long shot. I wish you luck
Get this tsmtape0.1.tar.z here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/tsmtape/ This is an excerpt from a README: ================================= Description: TSMtape recovers files from a Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) v5.x tape. Detail: TSM is unable to import a rogue tape that is not identified within its database or restore a file located on a known tape after it has been expired. TSMtape will allow the recovery of these files by reading a TSM v5.x (tested against 5.2) tape and allowing restoration or listing of all files without need of the TSM software or database. OS: Updated to compile/run on Linux x86. gcc version 3.3.3 (SuSE Linux) History: TSMtape is based off adsmtape written by Thorhallur Sverrisson who released the original work under GNU GPL. adsmtape targeted ADSM (predecessor to TSM) v3 and was written for AIX. https://sourceforge.net/projects/adsmtape/ Build: untar the files and run make. Usage: ./TSMtape [-R|restore] <device> <Files> <Restore Path> or ./TSMtape [-A|--audittape] <device> <output file> Options: -h, --help display this help and exit -A, --audit Output list of files stored on tape with supporting details in csv format -R, --restore Restore "your" files ;-) <Files> File parsing can be a partial or full path, Use a '/' as a catchall -v[vv] Print additional debugging information Example: ./TSMtape --restore /dev/st0 /etc/shadow /tmp/recovered ./TSMtape --audit /dev/st0 / /tmp/tapefiles.csv ... .. . ========================== ========================== Regards, -- Sasa Drnjevic www.srce.unizg.hr On 10.3.2017. 5:22, Saravanan Palanisamy wrote: > Folks, > > I badly need some help > > One of the data got deleted from TSM database but tape wasn't not re-used and > it's available in PCT reclaimable.
