Kolbeinn, Nice query - the output of the query below can get confusing when you have copy storage pools and send data offsite - here's a modification which I've found useful:
select VOLUME_NAME, ACCESS, STATUS- PCT_UTILIZED, STGPOOL_NAME from VOLUMES where (select POOLTYPE from STGPOOLS where VOLUMES.STGPOOL_NAME = STGPOOLS.STGPOOL_NAME) = 'PRIMARY' and VOLUME_NAME in (select VOLUME_NAME from VOLUMEUSAGE where NODE_NAME = 'NODEXYZ') which narrows the query down to just those tapes which are onsite. You can substitute 'PRIMARY' for 'COPY' if you want to see the copystgpool (offsite in our env) tapes.

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.

Gerald Wichmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 02/19/2004 15:26 Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" To [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc Subject Querying What tapes you need for a restore? 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.
