Alex,
If the tape is truly "bad", first audit that tape (audit vol xxx fix=yes);
if you just want to skip past that tape, one "trick" I've used is to force
classic restore -- nqr won't skip "unavailable" tapes, classic will (or it
used to in the v 3.1 timeframe)...
To force "classic" restore, spe
If there's a true problem with that tape, TSM should mark it as
"unavailable" and pick up the backup storage pool tape copy. Make sure your
backup storage pool tape copy is set to read only: "q vol vol_name f=d" on
backup storage pool tape copy.
