Question & Answer
Question
Why does RESTORE STGPOOL with PREVIEW=Yes and WAIT=Yes not display all required volumes in the console window?
Cause
RESTORE STGPOOL with PREVIEW=Yes and Wait=Yes displays required volumes with ANR1254I message only when access mode of those volumes are READWRITE or READONLY.
---
ANR1254I Removable volume <volume_name> is required for restore processing.
---
If access mode of required volumes are "Unavailable" or "Offsite", those volumes are displayed with ANR1255W message but are not displayed in the console window.
---
ANR1255W Files on volume <volume_name> cannot be restored - access mode is "unavailable" or "offsite".
---
ANR1255W is recorded only in ACTLOG even when RESTORE STGPOOL is executed with WAIT=Yes.
Answer
Execute QUERY ACTLOG after RESTORE STGPOOL PREVIEW=Yes and check to see volume names not only in ANR1254I but also in ANR1255W message.
