Using "delete obsolete" with 2 tape libraries

[jacklieb]

For DR purposes, we make our daily hot backups to a local tape lib and the archivelog backups to a remote tape lib. My question is: How do I configure my channels so that a "DELETE OBSOLETE" command will set the state properly (INACTIVE_VERSION) on both nodes.

All suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I tried allocating 2 maintenance channels (one to each node via the tdpo_optfile) and issued the DELETE OBSOLETE and it deleted all related backup pieces on each library. Two normal tape channels could very well have accomplished the same thing, but I did not try that.
