If there is no copy of the volumedata stored on a copy storage pool, you cannot restore the volume because there is no alternative data source. Check the difference between your primary storage pool and your copy storage pool.
Every time i have such a problem, I set the tape to unavailable and wait till the tape gets less utilized. Then i check the importance of the data left on the tape. If there are no important files left, I simply delete the tape (with "discarddata=yes"). If there are any other solutions, I also would appreciate to hear them!

I did the typical procedure in the Tivoli Admin Manual to restore the volume. All the tapes specified in the restore vol xxxxx prev=yes where brought on site. However after we did the restore I got a warning "ANR1256W" regarding some files couldn't be restored. Doing a restore vol xxxxx prev=yes doesn't show any volumes that are needed to restore it. Reclamation has not occured since the tape was destroyed. The tape is beyond repair and can't do a move data from it. Has anyone run across this? Any recommendations? TIA Dave
