You have to decide on the implication on production of this, but something I vaguely remember doing once... - perform the volume usage command - Set all the applicable tapes to "unavailable" (temporarily) - Perform the restore, expecting failures - Search the actlog for the mount errors and compile your list. - Undo the "unavailable" settings

But it still not convenient to me. Because I have more 50 volumes which related to the restoration node. Some time more than 30 volumes are put out of library. It's not comfortable to checkin all volumes of that node for restore which actually the number of volume may be need 3-6 volumes for restoration. I ever use bmc and I'm very appriciate to the dry run option. TSM should develop this one which I think it is very useful for client.

Until now I'm still feel bad every time when I have to restore data especially when restore data from API (TDP for oracle and backup image). The restore data size is very huge so they need more than one volume to restore. Unfortunable I cannot maintain all backup volumes in the library. So there are some volumes place out of library. Every time I plan to setup restore schedule in the night but I cannot reliably that the restore will be compeleted because I don't know which volume should checked in before. Any idea please suggest.
