I ran some backups a long time ago that we weren't sure when we would need
so we set the retention to Infinity. Now that we do not have the need for
this media anymore I would like to expire them so I can re-use the tapes. I
have attempted multiple different ways to expire the media on the tape and
read the manual a few times, but for some reason I cannot change the
expiration from infinity to any date. I have used the CLI, motif gui and
java gui.
Info on sys: Solaris 8, Netbackup 3.4.1, SSO with 9 media servers.
Bpexpdate looks like it worked, but it doesn't show when looking back at the
tape.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
