Re: [Veritas-bu] Suspend or Freeze media

Actually, the other way around. Suspended
media cannot be written to by Netbackup until all the images on it expire.
Sort of a logical “tape write protect” – until the expiration
date. Then it goes back to unassigned / into the scratch pool. Freezing a
media means Netbackup will never expire or write to that media again. I’m
not sure if the actual images expire or not, but the media itself will stay
assigned in that pool until it’s unfrozen. The easiest way to suspend or
freeze media is with the bpmedia command. I generally do this kind of thing
via batch command.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Suspend or
Freeze media
We are trying to phase our our LTO 2 tapes as we go to LTO
3. My thought is that I will freeze or suspend the tapes and when they expire
we can remove them from service. Does this seem logical? Also, is there a way
to freeze a range of tapes? I do not have a good understanding of
freezing/suspending media. From what I read it appears that once a frozen tape
expires it comes back into service and a suspended tape never expires. I am
interested in knowing thoughts on the best way to remove the media from
service.
