ASSISTVCRRECOVERY

The ASSISTVCRRECOVERY option specifies whether Tivoli® Storage Manager assists an IBM® 3590 drive in recovering from a lost or corrupted Vital Cartridge Records (VCR) condition. If you specify YES (the default) and if Tivoli Storage Manager detects an error during the mount processing, it locates to the end-of-data during the dismount processing to allow the drives to restore the VCR. During the tape operation, there might be some small effect on performance because the drive cannot complete a fast locate with a lost or corrupted VCR. However, there is no loss of data.
