Hi Andrew,
thanks a lot - all of your examples helps a lot !
What I am really trying to find out is the time/date when I can delete
some obsolete archive-copygroups like
Policy Domain Name: U12345
Policy Set Name: STANDARD
Mgmt Class Name: ARCHIVE_10Y
Copy Group Name: STANDARD
Copy Group Type: Archive
Retain Version: 3,653
Retention Initiation: Creation
Retain Minimum Days:
Copy Serialization: Static
Copy Frequency: CMD
Copy Mode: Absolute
Copy Destination: NONE
Last Update by (administrator): MANAG_W
Last Update Date/Time: 03/16/05 12:49:15
Managing profile:
It is just for 'cleanup' - not now but someday.
At the same time some other archive classes are still used to archive data
and therefore must stay untouched.
( Unfortunately those obsolete archive-classes have the data inside
one tape storagepool mixed with still usable ones - so I can not determine
those obsolete archive-class just by the occupancy... )
Maybe it will take some years when files that are bound to those 'old' classes
will
leave through the expiration-process.
My solution is to simply check from time to time if there ar still files bound
to a specific (obsolete) archive-class - and if no files are bound ( by any
node in that domain) then I can delete it.
Really great would be the following:
Is it possible to get the date/time when the 'last'
file will expire in a given (archive)class-name and a given
domain-name/or-nodename ?
Greetings
Rainer
