[Veritas-bu] expiring tapes
2004-05-04 13:45:42
Further, you can run bpmedialist to get the media server that owns the tape:
bpmedialist -ev c0267d
it will return a few lines, the first of which will be "Server Host = <media
server>".
Add -host <media server> to the end of your bpexpdate command and you should be
in business.
