If the data is not available from a primary storage pool volume and the copy pool volume with the data on it is available... without any intervention, the data will be retrieved from the copy pool volume (if/when the client requests it) to get the data back into the primary storage pool, you would need to recreate the primary storage pool volumes with the "restore volume" command.
