19.5.1 Obtain the recovery volumes

A list of the off-site volumes required for recovery is in the stanza
RECOVERY.VOLUMES.REQUIRED (and now also in the file
LOCHNESS-DR.RECOVERY.VOLUMES.REQUIRED). The stanza is shown in
Example 19-29. Use this list to alert the vault administrator that you need these
tapes retrieved as soon as possible.
Example 19-29 Recovery volumes required
begin RECOVERY.VOLUMES.REQUIRED
Volumes required for data base restore
Location = Rocket Vault
Device Class = LTO2-DC
Volume Name = 037AKK
Volumes required for storage pool restore
Location = Rocket Vault
Copy Storage Pool = OFFDATA
Device Class = LTO2-DC
Volume Name = 032AKK
Copy Storage Pool = OFFDIRS
Device Class = LTO2-DC
Volume Name = 036AKK
end RECOVERY.VOLUMES.REQUIRED
We can see that volume 037AKK is required for database restore, while 032AKK
and 036AKK are required for storage pool restoration. You can confirm the
currency of the volumes by looking at the volume history section of the recovery
plan (VOLUME.HISTORY.FILE stanza).

19.5.2 Review the Tivoli Storage Manager macros

You should review the macros contained in the recovery plan. It is possible that
the volumes you have available may not be exactly the ones that the DR plan
macros are expecting. For any number of reasons, volumes may still be in
