No, there is no function like this in TSM. However, a compromise solution would be to run a SELECT statement against the VOLUMEUSAGE table to determine which volumes contain data for a particular node. You can also filter on file space name and copy type (backup or archive).This will most likely give you a superset of the tapes, so you'd be checking in more than you need... as I said, it's a compromise.

Is there a way to query a list of tapes needed for a given restore prior to doing the restore such that you can ensure all those tapes are in your library prior to kicking off the restore? I think the normal mode of operation is if you were to do a restore that involved several tapes and some tapes were in your library and some were not, it would move along fine with those tapes it has but the restore would halt and issue a mount request for those that aren't in the library. I'd like to avoid that mount request and just ensure all the tapes are in the library beforehand. Gerald This e-mail has been captured and archived by the ZANTAZ Digital Safe(tm) service.
