Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] RIST.EDU> 06/11/2002 12:07 PM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" Justin, The way that you can go about recreating copypool volumes is very simple as long as the primary volumes still exist. What you can do is mark the copypool volume as destroyed. Then, run a backup storage pool of the primary storage pool that the copy volume was apart of. Example: Primary Stg Pool: StgPoolA; contains volume called "A" Copy Stg Pool: CopyofStgPoolA; contains copy of volume A called CopyA Mark "CopyA" destroyed. Run a backup storage pool process on StgPoolA, and the TSM DB will see that volume CopyA has been destroyed and will recreate the copypool volume that has been marked destroyed from the primary volume called "A". Hope this helps and I didn't confuse you to much :-) Regards, Sean Sean M. English You can't change the wind, but you can adjust the sails.
