You are correct. I've never used the '-y' option for the 'nsrstage'
command, but I do see it now. Thanks! I've actually never tried to stage
expired save sets, only ones that are browsable or recoverable, but I
was making the assumption (ouch) that since staging involves cloning
that I would most likely encounter the same problem if I didn't first
make the affected save sets nonrecyclable using nsrmm.
So I guess I was referring only to the 'nsrmm' command itself. It
doesn't allow me to affect the ssretent time directly, only the clretent
which will then change the ssretent, but in the case of a recyclable
save set, it will only change the ssretent (and flags) after I've
changed the mode to notrecyclable, which I cannot do until I've first
set the clretent to a non-expired date. So if I do neither, or if I only
change the clretent then it hangs, and I see the same error messages in
the daemon.raw file as you noted.
Would have been nice if they'd at least had the error show up on the
console. Took me a while to even think to go check the log. Sheesh!
However, as you stated problems, i have verified the issue and in fact there is
a problem.
First with NW 7.6.1.6
This is what you will see when you run the command:
C:\>nsrmm -o recyclable -S 3591584401
Mark save set 3591584401 as recyclable? y
C:\>
C:\>nsrstage -vvv -m -b "Default Clone" -y 07/05/2020 -S 3591584401

5767:nsrstage: NSR server 2003r2: Cloning requires two available enabled
devices.
5766:nsrstage: waiting 30 seconds then retrying
6220:nsrstage: nsrclone command has retried 2 times.
.....
In fact the process hangs. The message ...
"nsrmmdbd Media DB error: Save set ssid:3588482332 cloneid:1309224608
eligibility can not be cleared, retention time must be adjusted first "
... is only stated in the daemon.raw file.
I clearly consider this a bug.

The behavior does improve with NW 7.6.2:

Nice to hear that they fixed it. Thanks for testing this on your end and
clarifying me on all this.

So you better update.
