All, I have 10 tapes in my library that have a Time Assigned when
viewing them under Media in the Windows Admin Console. The time
assigned date is beyond our 2 month standard retention so I do not think
there are images on the tapes. As a result of this these tapes are not
being reused.=0D
=0D
I have tried the following to check for images and expire images on
these tapes.
=0D
1. bpimmedia -L -mediaid 557022 - to check for images
2. bpexpdate -ev 557022 -d 0 - to expire the images
=0D
I tried deassigning them with=0D
=0D
bpexpdate -deassignempty -m 557022
=0D
My issues is that it appears that the commands do not finish or nothing
happens. I end up doing a Ctrl C to get out of them after 2 hours. I
have tried this on several tapes but I am getting the same results. =0D
=0D
On one tape I got allocation failed. On another I got requested media
id was not found in NB media database and/or VV manager database. =0D
=0D
How can it show up in media and have a date assigned if it is not in the
volume database?
=0D
Most of the time the window just hung and nothing came back. Does
anyone know why this happens? How long should it take? My catalog is
11.4 GB and I am backing up about 2.4 terabytes in a week. Are there
any other commands I should be using?
=0D
Your help is appreciated. Have a good weekend.=0D
