A point-in-time restore of a library client server can cause volumes to be removed from the volume inventory of a library client server and later overwritten.
If a library client server acquired scratch volumes after the point-in-time to which the server is restored, these volumes would be set to private in the volume inventories of the library client and library manager servers. After the restore, the volume inventory of the library client server can be regressed to a point-in-time before the volumes were acquired, thus removing them from the inventory. These volumes would still exist in the volume inventory of the library manager server as private volumes owned by the client.
The restored volume inventory of the library client server and the volume inventory of the library manager server would be inconsistent. The volume inventory of the library client server must be synchronized with the volume inventory of the library manager server in order to return those volumes to scratch and enable them to be overwritten. To synchronize the inventories, complete the following steps:
