Re: [Networker] Does a tape marked as "FULL" ever expire and become recycable?

For the most part, this is a less-than-important issue for me, as it's not
all that hard to mark a volume as recyclable. I already have a script that
I can run that checks each library for tapes marked recycable, and then
issues a re-label, by pool. Since I am pulling and adding tapes into the
libraries every day anyway (usually only about 4 per library), marking a
volume as recyclable is pretty quick. And then the script can be
automated.
Hmm, not sure why you would need to do that. When it's recyclable
NetWorker can recycle it, so why do you need to?
Be more work to do the nsrim, and the mminfos. :-) Altho that can be
scripted and scheduled, too.
That's not the idea. My suggestion of running mminfo was to find the
problem. It should not be something you need to do regularly, or from a
scheduled job. If tapes are not recycling when they should then you need
to find the errors in your NetWorker config and fix them. You should
certainly not be manually setting tapes to recyclable on a regular basis.
