So if that save set had not already expired then the volretent time

What about the ssretent? Would that have changed to be the same as the
clretent, too?
I think i pointed out that it does not make sense to change the retention time
for an expired save set.
For me it makes sense. For example, suppose I want to stage a bunch of
expired save sets to another volume. Staging involves cloning, but when
I try to clone one of those save sets (nsrclone), I get an error like
the following:
nsrmmdbd Media DB error: Save set ssid:3588482332 cloneid:1309224608
eligibility can not be cleared, retention time must be adjusted first
The cloning does work, and I have tested that recovering from the cloned
copy produces the same data as recovering from the original, *BUT* the
clone process takes an hour, even for a 3 KB file. It just hangs there
forever.
However, if I instead first use 'nsrmm -e' to change the clretent time,
and I then use 'nsrmm -o notrecyclable' to make it recoverable again
(this also changes the ssretent time to match), then the cloning process
does not hang and completes in a normal time frame. But I can't use the
'nsrmm -o' command until I've first run 'nsrmm -e', and I can't just run
'nsrmm -e'; otherwise, I'll get the same error and the same hang.
Yes - just try it on a recoverable save set.
In general, there is no difference between the ssretent an the clretent time
because the first save set instance already has a cloneid (timestamp). By
using the cloneid to exactly specify the instance, you do not really need the
clretent any more. But i never personally verified that.
