Is there an easy way to reset the expiration date of a Tape Volume (or
rather a list of tapes) ???
I have a number of tapes (all in a common pool) which I must reset the
expiration dates to 'forever'....
The only method I am finding is via an 'nsrmm -S ssid -e retention'
command... I would hate to have to do this one save-set at a time, the
number of tapes I have to process contain thousands of save-sets....
There must be a better way than to do it by individual save-sets.
Is there a
single command to reset the volume retention for a tape ?
You can set the tape to manual recycling using the -o parameter of
nsrmm. See the nsrmm man page for details. You can probably also dump
a list of SSID numbers for a tape to a file, then use nsrmm in a
script to read that file and reset the expiration date for each SSID
in that file.
