Geoff, The ABC client software for OpenVMS was written by my company, SSSI. I'm assuming that you aren't too familiar with it because of your question regarding what will show up in the GUI.
ABC is different than other clients in that it uses the TSM API to save and restore files - it helps to keep that in mind because some things happen in the client software instead of on the server. In this case, it does appear that the active file may have been on the disk that failed. What have you done with that disk - did you mark it destroyed and try to recover the files that may have gone to your copypool? Bill Smoldt STORServer, Inc.

Sent: Friday, June 20, 2003 9:56 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: ANS1304W related to previous Disk Failure??? Below is a message from the ABC client software one of the Admins sent me from their system last night. I am guessing this is related to the disk that failed in the disk pool where this node dumps data, yes but I could be wrong. The other day a disk failed with 1.6% data left on it migrating to tape so some data was lost. Maybe someone more familiar with the ABC client can tell help clear this up? Question related to this failure. 1. If a client goes to restore a file that happened to be on that disk when it failed, which means it did not go to tape, what will the client see on their end? Will the GUI show the file as active/inactive or has TSM dumped it from the DB? 2. If the file happened to make it to the offsite tapes and the user happened to try and restore that file what kind of message would they get?
