Let's say that a file space is on 10 primary tapes, but I'm restoring a subdirectory. Maybe I run a `q filespace nodename` to get the FSID, and then I use that to query the volumeusage table to get the volume names. Great. But how do I know which ones contain the subdirectory that I want to restore? How would I know which tapes to load, assuming some were on shelf? Once I start the restore, I can check the TSM activity log, and it will report the tapes that it wants, but is there some other way to know before I start the restore?
If I run dsmc on the client, with the details option, it only reports the Volume_ID, not the volume name. Is there some way to translate that into a volume name? Where does TSM stash away that silly Volume_ID, anyway?
Also, is there a way to get a similar list of the required copy pool volumes?
It sure would be convenient if dsmc would simply report the volume name(s) and also provide the copy pool volume name(s) also, assuming those exist.
