Call "man recover" on the core server to see a detailed description of the hpss "recover" tool
Recover means: stage all files from the secondary copy and re-write the primary copy

1. Recover the whole volume in HPSS

1.1 Log in on the active HPSS core server

1.3 /opt/hpss/bin/recover -i1 -v "volume_name" > /var/hpss/tmp/volume_name_recover_out.txt 2>&1 &
Note:    use option –w to change the number of seconds for the progress watch cycle (e.g. -w 300)

Note: it could be a long running process depending on how much files have to be recovered

/opt/hpss/bin/recover --status -i1 -v TK071300
