Micheal, When the CA-1 guy defined ADSM as an external data manager did he
also define the high level qualifier's you would be using with your tapes.
 We ran into that problem when we defined ADSM to CA-1.  We also had to
define all high level qualifiers to him.  The tapes we created that were
defined showed up as being PERMANENT but the tapes that were created with no
high level qualifier defined would show up with a default expiration date.

Hi there,

Its getting worse. I removed the tapes which had been erroneously relabelled
due to them having an expiry date in CA-1 of CATALOG rather than PERMANENT.

On using BAckup STG normal-pool copy-pool

 I see that out of 8 tapes created 5 are set ro PERMANENT and 3 to CATALOG.

I have our CA-1 administrator looking at the problem but he cannot make any
sense of it.

Do any of you out there have any clues at all - this situation is getting
desparate not to mention silly.

Cheers - keep smiling!!

Mike
