This is kinda confusing, but I agree with Jack: the problem has
something to do with the status of the OFFSITE tape, not the onsite
pool.
The reason: If you have a PRIMARY tape volume, and you DELETE the data
from the volume with DELETE DISCARDDATA, or you DELETE the data by
DELETING a filespace; that deletes the DB references to BOTH the primary
and copypool versions of the files. You can't have a copy of a backed
up file in a COPYPOOL, that doesn't exist in a primary pool.
SO, for the COPYPOOL tape that is being reclaimed
1) q vol XXXXXX f=d
Is the status of the tape OFFSITE? (It should be)
2) q libv LIBRARYNAME XXXXXX
If the tape shows up here, it is checked in, but should be checked
out of the library inventory.
run CHECKOUT LIBV XXXXXXXX REMOVE=NO
To get the tape out of your library inventory listing.
IF neither of those things works, please post a copy of the error
message you are seeing on the RECLAIM.

Right. That makes sense. The problem is that some tapes have slipped
through the cracks and I need to get the data back on the onsite tapes.
This function has been working for the past 2 years and recently popped
up.

If it is in a copypool, make sure the tapes are set up properly in the
data
base as being offsite. Then in reclamation of the copypool, it should
use
the onsite copy to build the new data image for the offsite copypool.

Our offsite pool reclamation process is calling for tapes that are
listed
as being in the vault (and they actually are). Obviously reclamation can
not take place for these volumes, as they are not onsite. First, what is
the best way to go about fixing this? Second, what could have gotten our
pools out of sync? Any help is much appreciated.
