Subject: [Veritas-bu] Expiring Images
OS: Windows 2000 SP6
NetBackup 4.5.3
L40 Library, 4 320 SDLT drive.
All, I have 10 tapes in my library that have a Time Assigned when viewing
them under Media in the Windows Admin Console. The time assigned date is
beyond our 2 month standard retention so I do not think there are images on
the tapes. As a result of this these tapes are not being reused.
I have tried the following to check for images and expire images on these
tapes.
1. bpimmedia -L -mediaid 557022 - to check for images
2. bpexpdate -ev 557022 -d 0 - to expire the images
I tried deassigning them with
bpexpdate -deassignempty -m 557022
My issues is that it appears that the commands do not finish or nothing
happens. I end up doing a Ctrl C to get out of them after 2 hours. I have
tried this on several tapes but I am getting the same results.
On one tape I got allocation failed. On another I got requested media id
was not found in NB media database and/or VV manager database.
How can it show up in media and have a date assigned if it is not in the
volume database?
Most of the time the window just hung and nothing came back. Does anyone
know why this happens? How long should it take? My catalog is 11.4 GB and
I am backing up about 2.4 terabytes in a week. Are there any other commands
I should be using?
Your help is appreciated. Have a good weekend.
Tammy Yosifovski
