Hi James,
It sounds like these are tapes that have already been written, so you'll need
to start manipulating their info with the "nsrmm" command.
I found some notes from doing this a while back....
What you're aiming for is "nsrmm -s 123456 -e (date) -w (date)" command, to
re-set the browse & retention times on the save sets in question.
First you'll need to use mminfo to get a list of the save-set ID's on the
media you want to keep for an extra year. Once you've got that, you may need
to flag the save-set as "not-recyclable" to allow the browse & retention
times to be altered. Once you've done that, you should be able to go ahead
and set the browse & retention dates to whatever you like.
This does come with the caveat that the notes were probably made when we were
on NetWorker 7.2, and things may have changed since then!
We did exactly this to the 2.3 TB NDMP restore that we needed to do
and the volumes expired - right in the middle of the restore.
Now I am faced with having to restore the stuff with scanner.
We got up to the letter "O" in the batches but I do not know why
applying:
nsrmm -S 3087846177 -w "+1 year" -e "+1 year" didn't work the way
we expected, even though we could see that the SSID did indeed have
an extended lifespan.
I have yet another case open with EMC over this, because I suspect
if I have correctly followed the command syntax, then this must be a bug.
Pretty sure the Index was still browsable etc when we reset the above....
