Nope - shouldn't work that way. If you look at the tape with vmquery, does it have an "Assigned" date?
Are you confusing volume expiration (tape age, visible with vmquery) with image expiration (visible with bpmedialist)? -M -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, September 15, 2009 12:55 PM To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Expired media not returning to SCRATCH & Vault Because the tape is suspended - meaning NB won't do anything to it till you release it. Try taking one off of suspension and see if it then expires -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jorge Fábregas Sent: Tuesday, September 15, 2009 1:50 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Veritas-bu] Expired media not returning to SCRATCH & Vault Hello everyone, I suddenly noticed we have lots of tapes (in the volume pools assigned for VAULT duplicates, and the majority of tapes in here are offsite) that the expiration date is oct/2008. The columns in the volume pool show: 1) the media status is SUSPENDED 2) date expiration (+- Oct/2008) ...plus I can't query the contents of these tapes (via reports or catalog) so apparently, indeed these tapes expired. I'm wondering...why didn't they show up in the SCRATCH pool as usual (when all images expire on tape)? Any common reason for this kind of behaviour? As always, thanks.
