My Basic question was the browse and retention policy and
expiration date is
is specific to "Volumes" only or they are "Saveset/Index" specific.
Stan..Again my apologies if i sound naive. i am trying to pick. Thanks
If you wish to manually mark a tape as recyclable, start the
NetWorker administrator gui and (depending on version and platform),
go into the volumes menu, find the tape in question, and then make it
recyclable.
I did do change it, and the "expiration date=manual" now, my
question, is
the tape is full now, and how do i say Networker to overwrite it.
Because it
keeps printing the error message
"Waiting for writable volumes"
If you want to enable a full tape that's marked for manual recycling
to be relabled and writable, you need to mark it as recyclable. You
did not say which NetWorker version you're using. Windows and Unix
NetWorker have different GUIs so the specific way to mark a volume as
recyclable depends on which OS platform you are using for your
NetWorker server.
I use NetWorker on Solaris (i.e., Sun's Unix) so I am not the best
person to respond to NetWorker server questions in a Windows
environment. If you're running NetWorker in any kind of a Unix
environment, you can use the NetWorker Administrator GUI to mark a
manually recyclable tape as recyclable OR you can do it via the
command line with the nsrjb command and the "-o" option. You can also
remove the tape from the media database, but that's not the best
option because you lose information about it such as how many times
it was labeled.
Feel free to ask any further questions you may have; that's the
purpose of this list! There's no need to apologize. Everyone on this
list had to learn NetWorker somewhere!
