Re: Procedures to follow after a drive with a stuck tape is repla ced -- 3584 library
For this reason we run a backup stg from the primary disks to copytape pool before we do migration. If the copytape is damaged by a tape drive, the data is still on disk. If the primary tape is damaged during or after migration then there is the good copytape. So the question is do you have a copytape of the data? If so then you can do a "restore vol x preview=yes" where x is the destroyed tape and the system will send to the actlog what tapes are needed. Then these tapes can be made available (i.e. called back the ones that are offsite). If there are some offsite we mark all tapes needed as unavailable. When we have them onsite and checked in, we mark them all readonly. Now you can issue a "restore volume x". This should recreate the damaged tape. Also once all the volumes are checked in, the restore can be started if necessary. If you do not have a copytape, then you are in a bad position. If the data is no longer on the server and your primary is not readable, I do not have any good words for you but sorry. -- Phillip Ford Senior Software Specialist Corporate Computer Center Schering-Plough Corp.
