Hello list,=20
I'm running NBU 4.5MP6, ADIC Scalar 100 with 50 slots, Solaris 8.
The retention time was set to 4 (2 months) and we started to run out of
tapes. The company now decided to change the retention to 3 weeks (Level
2), so I changed the policy to level 2 of retention. Before doing that I
had ALL the tapes FULL, since we were running out of space, due to the
retention I assume. The
After changing to level and running the bpexpdate as follow, it should
expire images older than 3 weeks and free up some space/tapes, but this
is not happening, and 'bpmedialist -summary' still shows expiration of 2
months for some tapes, please see above.
I've ran this after changing the retention of the policy:
=20
# /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpexpdate -recalculate -policy full
-ret 2
# /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpexpdate -recalculate -policy
incremental -ret 2
=20
They both run, but nothing changes.
