How will the virtual tapes get recycled? I presume I need to have auto

as recyclable (yet at least), and still retain their original
expiration dates.
You don't need to have AMM enabled. Read the manual and find out what
AMM does. AMM is ONLY concerned with labelling new tapes in your
library. Relabelling tapes that have already been made recyclable is
core NetWorker functionality that always happens unless you have set
some tapes to manual.
Do I need a script to mark all the volumes recyclable as needed?
No you don't. NetWorker always does this.
Perhaps I didn't word my question well. Yes, I did forget that AMM was
for labelling unlabelled tapes. I think I was thinking of a different
problem I had in the past.
I know that Networker will automatically mark the tapes recyclable WHEN
THEY EXPIRE. However, the virtual tapes seem to be retaining their
original expirations (three months from now) after the nsrstage
operation. I need them to become recyclable after the nsrstage
operation so they can be re-used as needed since I don't have three
months worth of VTL storage.
