I have an old saveset that had expired, but still remained in the media
db. So I re-scanned the tapes, in the order shown by the fragflags and
sumflags. I was able to change the retention date to be 7 years in the
future, but can't change the browse date. It says:
nsrmm -S 1891137112 -w "84 months"
Cannot exceed the browse time of a recoverable save set 1891137112
And I don't see why I can't change it.
If it's recoverable then it is not browsable. If it's not browsable,
then there is no index for the save set, which is why you can't change
the browse time.
The other potential issue here is that you can't make the browse time
longer than the retention time. If for example you had scanned it using
the -i flag and populated the index you would have a browsable save set.
You can extend the browse time in that case, but not to longer than the
retention. By extending the retention and then a few seconds/minutes
later issuing another nsrmm command to extend the browse you would be
telling it to use a longer browse than the retention you just specified.
To get round this you could issue the -w and the -e in the same command,
or try 83 months for the browse instead of 84.
e.g. time now is X
extend retention time to X + 7 years
wait one minute, time is now X + 1 minute
extend browse time to X + 7 years + 1 minute cannot be done because
brwose time would be later than retention time.
