Yep, that can happen. You may need a bunch of tapes to restore ONE!

Thanks for all of the pointers to PREVIEW=YES (yeah, I kinda figured that
out). Now if Tivoli will fix this error in the book(s)..................
Unfortunately, the result of the command now tells me I need 35 offsite
tapes to handle 1-bad tape (actually caused by a bad tape drive) that is
only 1.9% used !!

Subject: Recovering a damaged volume
OK, guys and gals. Need some assistance, especially since I did RTFM and
the book is in error.
I have a damaged tape. I went to the TSM manual (even checked the latest
CD I received with my 4.2 server) under:
Recovering a Lost or Damaged Storage Pool Volume
It says to:
1. Determine the copy pool volumes that contain the backup copies of the
files that were stored on the volume that was destroyed by entering:
restore volume dsm087 preview=volumesonly
This command produces a list of offsite volumes that contain the backed up
copies of the files that were on tape volume DSM087.
Well, every time I issue this command (using my tape number, of course), I
get:
F ADSM,RESTORE VOLUME 040287 PREVIEW=VOLUMESONLY
ANR5965I Console command: RESTORE VOLUME 040287 PREVIEW=VOLUMESONLY
ANR2017I Administrator SERVER_CONSOLE issued command: RESTORE VOLUME
040287 PREVIEW=VOLUMESONLY
ANR2020E RESTORE VOLUME: Invalid parameter - VOLUMESONLY.
What gives ?
What is the correct procedure to handle this situation ?
