At this point, as far as I know, no errors were encountered. Since this was a 
DR exercise, I will need to double check for any errors .

The vtocs available were:

Week1    Week2 
DIIIIII       DIIIIII  (D= FULL VOLUME I= INCREMENTAL)

Week 1 - FULL VOLUME DUMP, WEEK2 FULL VOLUME DUMP
Week2  - (2) INCREMENTAL DUMPS representing the first two 'I" dumps in week 2.

My thinking was that almost no data(if any) would be requested from prior to 
the week2 full volume dumps.

Thanks in advance for you time and assistance. Please stand by.

Did you happen to see any errors with reading the VTOC copy data set?

From the Storage Admin: "DFSMShsm uses the latest VTOC copy data set to recover 
the volume unless an error occurs in allocating or opening the latest VTOC copy 
data set. If the error occurs, DFSMShsm attempts to recover the volume, using 
the next latest copy of the VTOC copy data set. If a similar error occurs 
again, the volume recovery fails."

You indicate that you only have one VTOC copy.  Does the date correspond to the 
Week 2 Dump date?  

I wasn't able to find any other logic that would cause HSM to recover data from 
the Week 1 VTOC copy.  If the above don't apply, then a pmr could be opened to 
analyze the situation.
