Are you using an IBM VTS or a VTL. We are using a VTL and with this it is setup as a manual tape library and you don't need the VOLCAT when restoring from the starter system. You just use your tape name and the volume and it will find it like a real tape. The VTS is more complicated and when we had that we used real tape to recover and then setup the VTS with our own blank tapes put into it for new write only. We never brought the real tapes from the VTS and set it up. Hope this helps.
