Any suggestions for a worst case scenario, where it is a primary pool tape which has not yet had a backup made?
Had this happen this morning. Wrote 33GB onto a 3590E. The tape then became unreadable, the server error being "I/O error reading label for libvolume 101144 in drive RMT1 (/dev/rmt/6st)." Has anyone used any data recovery services? Is it even possible in this sort of situation? Thanks, Mike >If it is a primary pool tape you just do a RESTORE VOLUME command on the TSM >Server.
