Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows: Administrator's Reference

ASSISTVCRRECOVERY

Specifies whether TSM assists an IBM 3570 or 3590 drive in recovering from a lost or corrupted Vital Cartridge Records (VCR) condition. If you specify YES (the default) and if TSM 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 may be some small effect on performance because the drive cannot perform a fast locate with a lost or corrupted VCR. However, there is no loss of data.
