Do you back up your storage pools via the BACKUP STGPOOL command? If not, this is highly recommended and you give it serious consideration.
If you already back up your storage pools, then have you tried marking the volume as destroyed, then using the RESTORE VOLUME command?

Its not taking the command. The access mode is readonly. It is very well present in the autolib (library), but if i try to restore data from it is setting the mode as unaccessible.
