Did you do a DELETE VOLUME vvvvvv DISCARDDATA=YES? If so, the data is gone.
You should be able to perform a RESTORE STGPOOL command, otherwise, and it will get the data from the copy pool. The correct way to recover the data on a destroyed primary volume is to issue: RESTORE VOLUME vvvvvv This will mark the volume destroyed and restore the data from the copy pool. You are set. For a copy pool volume that gets destroyed you just delete it: DELETE VOLUME vvvvvv DISCARDDATA=YES And, run a backup storage pool command again to copy the data from the primary pool to the copy pool again.

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
