If you delete the volumes you want to relabel with "nsrmm -d volname"
you should be able to relabel them.
OK, that works. But why do I need it *now*? I know I never had to do
"nsrmm -d volname" before. I would just mark them as recyclable, and
just
issue the nsrjb -R -L command.
I can put that in the script, before it re-labels. Have to look up the
option for non-interactive use.
You're lucky if this is the first time you had to delete volumes from
the media database in order to manually relabel them. You certainly
shouldn't need to do that, but it is a "normal" course of action for
many NetWorker system administrators, including me. Why? I don't know.
I chalk it off to a software bug. Perhaps it will be fixed in a future
NetWorker version, but considering this problem has persisted for
years, I am not holding my breath. On the upside, for some reason, I
noticed that this happens a lot less frequently since I upgraded to 7.4.
