Yes, but.... You may want to ensure the copy pool version gets restored before you need it; "restore volume" is designed with this in mind -- refer to the admin guide or reference, as it's dependent on the database info to find the copy pool data.
If you truly wiped out all references to the data, the copypool references might have (also) been deleted -- depends on how you deleted the volume's data. If you need old versions of data stored on that tape, you may need to restore the TSM db to a point in time where it contains the copy pool info, then do the "restore vol" (possibly, run 2nd TSM instance on current server). Alternatively, it may be simpler/easier to regenerate the data from the next backup cycle --- or start backups now, to expedite backup of current versions for the data that got "destroyed".

We were unable to complete the move data command and the data was unavailable. We removed the tape and deleted it from the database. Luckily we still have the copy pool tape. What if we need to do a restore from this dataset, does TSM know to ask for the copy pool instead of the primary? Thanks, Rob Hefty IS Operations Lab Safety Supply
