Re: [Veritas-bu] Suspend or Freeze media

Hi
Matt,
My understanding is
this....
If a volume is SUSPENDED the system will not write to it until all
the
backup images on that volume have expired. (either automatically or
if
manual expiry which can be carried
out using the command
tool BPEXPDATE)
If a volume is frozen the system will not
write to it even after all the
backup images on that volume have expired.
This means there could well be a
problem with the Media. When expired
the media report in Netbackup will say Frozen Expired. If I get too many frozen tapes, I can unfreeze and use
them again. But if they continually fail, remove them from the
library.

We are trying to
phase our our LTO 2 tapes as we go to LTO 3. My thought is that I will freeze
or suspend the tapes and when they expire we can remove them from service.
Does this seem logical? Also, is there a way to freeze a range of tapes? I do
not have a good understanding of freezing/suspending media. From what I read
it appears that once a frozen tape expires it comes back into service and a
suspended tape never expires. I am interested in knowing thoughts on the best
way to remove the media from service.
