Morning Everyone,
 
My environment : NetBackup DataCenter 3.4 with 34_3 jumbo patch on HP-UX
11.0
 
I would like to reduce the number of retention levels in my NetBackup
Datacenter installation.  Currently, I have  9 levels, but would like
to only have four
 
>From the looks of things, I might be able to modify 
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/config/user_retention
 
Version 1
Max_retention_level 9
 0 604800 1 2 1 week
 1 1209600 2 2 2 weeks
 2 1814400 3 2 3 weeks
 3 2419200 4 2 4 weeks
 4 3024000 5 2 5 weeks
 5 16070400 6 3 6 months
 6 32140800 12 3 12 months
 7 64281600 24 3 24 months
 8 220752000 7 4 7 years
 9 2147483647 -1 -1 infinity
10 0 0 0 expires immediately
 
 
But, I'm a little scared.  Seems like I could put serious strangle-hold
on the catalog by screwing around with stuff like that.  You can't change
the number of retention levels via the GUI, and I figure there must be a
good reason.
 
If I can provide any more information, please let me know.
 
With kind regards,
