Hey, you NEVER have to worry about TSM losing data! (One of the reasons I think it is the best product on the market...)
Here's what probably happened: Either the data on this tape had already expired, or was relocated during a reclaim. So the tape was EMPTY (no valid data left), but still marked OFFSITE. So when you marked the tape as READO instead of OFFSITE, TSM realized the tape was empty, and did what it normally does - deleted the empty tape from the storage pool. If there were any valid data left on that tape, TSM would NOT have deleted it from the storage pool. If AD0289 were an onsite tape that was checked into your library, it would have gone back to SCRATCH status. If AD0289 is in your offsite location/vault, the only problem is that (depending on how you generate your list of tapes to return from the vault), it is no longer marked OFFSITE, so probably will not appear on your next TAPERETURN list. Just make a note to yourself that this tape needs to be added to your next TAPERETURN list. ************************************************************************ Wanda Prather The Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab 443-778-8769 [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Intelligence has much less practical application than you'd think" - Scott Adams/Dilbert ************************************************************************ -----Original Message----- From: Bill Dourado [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 24, 2002 6:16 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Volume deleted from OFFSITETAPES pool Hi, I was updating a few "unavailable" tape volumes to access=reado, and in error typed :- UPDATE VOLUME AD0289 ACCESS=READO (AD0289 being the error).
