It's not really dangerous it will basically force a recycle on
whatever tape you want.

This looks correct to me.

Also, I just wanted to remind you that you will have to manually do
the update volume command on any currently labeled volume that you
want to change the retention time.


To see the retention time that is in effect on your current tapes use the

list media pool=wed-pool

or whatever other pool you want. If you leave out the pool= part and
just do a list media it will show all volumes.
