I'm hoping one of you might be able to tell me what I'm doing wrong.

We currently have a policy with an retention level of infinity (9). We
want to change this to 68 weeks.

In bpadm I've set retention level 10 to 68 weeks, changed the foobar
policy to use level 10. Now I want to change all
the tapes/images in foobar's volume pool to 68 weeks. I ran the
following:

sudo bpexpdate -recalculate -policy foobar -ret 10

But when I run the  bpmedialist or available_media commands, everything
is still showing up as=20
retention level 9. Any ideas how I can set these tapes to a 68 week
retention period?

Thanks.

        -Aaron
