If you deleted volumes while at the 5.2.0.0. level of the server, please see apar IC36462. At that level, once you delete copypool volumes, the primary pool equivalents DO NOT get rebacked up. This leaves you with a hole in your offsite backups. The bug is fixed in later releases but the existing data does not get rebacked up without manual intervention. You have to go thru and "RESET BACKUP vol" on all the primary volumes involved to get things resolved.
David Ehresman University of Louisville >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 04/05/05 11:55 AM >>> I don't know if there is a change in 5.3 as we have not upgraded yet, but I just went through this process in November/December when we upgraded our tape environment. The only option was to backup data from the primary pool to the new copypool, just like you stated. The good/bad news(depends on how you look at it) is...we had 500 TB of data to do this with and over 6000 tapes to delete. I ended up building command scripts to delete the volumes, much easier than hitting each on separately. Also the data copied much quicker than expected and we were done in 2 months...

Where do you find the time to remember all this ! A very interesting idea/process. Would work great for small amounts of data ! Unfortunately, I have 20TB to move/recopy ! Thanks for the pointer, though !
