If a copy of the same storage pool is maintained , best bet is to do a restore volume.If you don't have the copy tapes within the Tape Library, you could atleast get the media number thats required for the restore. After having checked in the same you could try restore vol.

I ran an audit vol **** fix=no and it returned with a large number of damaged files. The volume is 2.8% full, read only state. There are 5 more tapes in the library with this problem all Maxell tapes? What is the standard procedure to resolve this issue? audit, restore or migrate? Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Etienne Brodeur Sent: 26 January 2004 18:59 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: tsm media problem Can the tape be mounted? If not au audit is not going to help much... I prefer to run an audit with fix=no first to see what the problems are before trying to fix them, bu that would take some time. As for how long it will take, it depends on the drive, connection, server, DB, log, data on the tape in question and lots of other factors! I would expect it to take many hours if there are a lot of read errors. (4+ hrs IMHO).
