Dave,
You can use the "vmchange" command to place a deassigned tape into whatever
pool you wish:
vmchange -p <scratchpoolnum> -m <tapenum>
I've got a script that does this daily run by cron:
#!/bin/sh
##Auto_ScratchPool
## This script is used to identify all tapes in the robot which are
available
## for use (all expired images) but are not in the "ScratchPool" and change
## them to be in the Scratchpool. This should increase tape availability
for
## all Classes of backups.

#Now lookup scratchpool pool number.

awk -F: '$1=="pool number" {pn=$2}

# Note: vmquery col 1 is tape number
# col 3 is tape type
# col 12 is poolname
# col 20 is "assigned" date
tapelist=`vmquery -a -w | awk '$3 !~ /CLN/ && \
$20 == "00/00/0000" && \
$12 != "'$SPname'" && \
$28 == 0 {print $1}' `
for eachtape in $tapelist
do
#Tape available for reassignment to scratchpool.
vmchange -p $SPnum -m $eachtape
done
exit

Subject: [Veritas-bu] tapes expiring
If i take tapes which are assigned to a pool for eg weekly_full , daily_inc
out of my jukebox ( sun L1000, netbackup 3.2 running on solaris 8 ) and do
not put them back in until the retention period is over, they then are read
in and are still assigned to the pool they were in before. Although they can
be written to by schedules using that pool now that the retention period is
over.
Thing is, how do i make tapes which come into the jukebox that are known
about from other pools but have gone past their retention period move into
the scratch pool.
I have a barcode rule so any new tapes which come in automatically go into
the scratch pool, but these are tapes which have been used before. currently
I have to expire each one with bpexpdate -ev <tape> -d 0 then delete them
from the gui, then run vmupdate -x -rn 0 -rt tld -rh `uname -n` -vh `uname
-n` -use_barcode_rules to get them into the scratch pool.
Anyone any ideas ?
Dave
