Subject: [Veritas-bu] Change retention in all tapes in a policy


Hello again

I have now:

1) bpexpdate -policy <policy> -recalculate -ret 8
2) bpexpdate -deassignempty -force
3) bpimage -cleanup -allclients

I want to change retention for all tapes that have been written with
retention level 6, to retention level 8. After done all this, I look
under Media, and still see a lot of tapes with retention 6.

Can I manually change retention level of tapes?
Any other suggestions?
