You could
identify some known scratch tapes NOW and in the past when that data
existed
roll the environment back to when the deleted data existed
export that filespace
roll the environment back to current
import the filespace
whew...
but will work... (famous last words)

TSM Server 5.1.6.5 on AIX 4.3.3 ML-11
While cleaning up old data in our TSM system, we deleted a filespace from
which a year-end snapshot had been taken. Upon the deletion of the
filespace, TSM notified us that both the primary tape and the copy tape
had toggled to "pending" status. This occurred on Monday during our
weekly maintenance cycle.
The last prior DB backup is from Sunday morning. We have taken daily DB
backups since and will take another today.
Is there any way to recover that tape's data? I've thought about rolling
the system back to Sunday, but I would have to eventually roll it forward
to today to prevent orphaning the backups that have occurred since then.
What can I do?
Thanks in advance.
