Hi Robert, As Stefan said, DRM (Disaster Recovery Manager) should be able to handle all the media state changes automatically.
If, otherwise, you just want to stop using DRM and recover all the tapes, the problem is that it's not possible to delete the last db snapshot backup, at least not officially. https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21083952 There is the undocumented option force=yes for the delete volhistory command. It's undocumented, so be sure that deleting this last db snapshot is really what you want to do, and double check before launching the command. https://www.mail-archive.com/adsm-l@vm.marist.edu/msg85767.html Steps: 1) Check that this is the last and only db snapshot backup q volh ty=dbs 2) Delete the volume from volhistory del volh ty=dbs todate=today force=yes Giacomo Testa -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Stefan Folkerts Sent: Sunday, November 12, 2017 14:50 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] DBS vault volume question Hi Robert, That's not the way you get vault tape back from the vault. DR will put vault tapes in vault retrieve for you, you don't have to do that by yourself, it's will adhere to this setting ( https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSEQVQ_8.1.3/srv.reference/r_cmd_drmdbbackupexpiredays_set.html ). So if you set that to 3 (I think the minimum value) the system will put the dbs you have offsite in vaultretrieve after that time, then you can place it in courierretrieve or go straight to onsiteretrieve. Make sure you align the value above with the reuse delay of the copypool(s) you manage with drm.
