Steve, We recently had a couple of tapes that either went bad, or had copies of files on them marked as bad. What I would do is look at the actlog and see what vols reclaimation isn't able to continue on, and then do a "restore vol VOLSER preview=yes" on that volume. Most of the volumes that will come up as being needed will be the ones that you see in the actlog now as being needed, but are offsite. We brought the tapes from offsite, checked them in, restored vol without the preview option, and then checked the offsite vols back out. It took something like 80 tapes to restore 5 onsite tapes with bad data. it was a lot of fun!

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. Thanks, Steve Hicks CIS System Infrastructure Lead / AIX Administrator Knoxville Utilities Board
