After running the preview for restore, we mark all needed volumes as unavailable. Both onsite and offsite ones. This has usually made them static enough to not have a problem at restore time.
Just my 2 cents worth. -- Phillip Ford Senior Software Specialist Corporate Computer Center Schering-Plough Corp.

Reason is this is a dynamic system with expirations and reclamations running. By the time you got back the tapes requested, the data on some of them was somewhere else according to the TSM DB. Run the "preview" again. I've had several out of about a dozen or so restores where I needed to make a "second pass" to get everything. David B.

Issued the "restore volume" with wait=yes and preview=yes Captured activity log, but when I did the restoer, it called for two other volumes. I really don't think I missed it. Anyone have an idea or a script for determining needed offsite volumes for a restore? Thanks for the help.
