Zoltan, Try using the preview=yes parameter and when the process is done check the activity log for the volumes that are required.

Need some assistance, especially since I did RTFM and the book is in error. I have a damaged tape. I went to the TSM manual (even checked the latest CD I received with my 4.2 server) under: Recovering a Lost or Damaged Storage Pool Volume It says to: 1. Determine the copy pool volumes that contain the backup copies of the files that were stored on the volume that was destroyed by entering: restore volume dsm087 preview=volumesonly This command produces a list of offsite volumes that contain the backed up copies of the files that were on tape volume DSM087. Well, every time I issue this command (using my tape number, of course), I get: F ADSM,RESTORE VOLUME 040287 PREVIEW=VOLUMESONLY ANR5965I Console command: RESTORE VOLUME 040287 PREVIEW=VOLUMESONLY ANR2017I Administrator SERVER_CONSOLE issued command: RESTORE VOLUME 040287 PREVIEW=VOLUMESONLY ANR2020E RESTORE VOLUME: Invalid parameter - VOLUMESONLY. What gives ? What is the correct procedure to handle this situation ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zoltan Forray Virginia Commonwealth University - University Computing Center e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - voice: 804-828-4807
