This is part of the normal DR process to return off-site tapes. But it also applies to any MVC that can be rebuilt if the VTVs are duplexed. 1) Mark it lost 2) MVCDRAIN Draining will then recall all the VTVs from the alternate MVCs and re-migrate them to new ones. Once the "bad" MVC is drained, you can replace it (initialize, audit, etc.).
