I am running a script to duplicate a bunch of media and check for the tape requirements and expipre the tape once the duplication has completed.
We are writing copy 2 to a DSSU and then destaging from there tp copy 3 on tape. The problem is that occassionally of the on disk image is expired before the original image then copy 1 on the source tape get made the primary again. I can change copy3 to be primary and then expire the source tape; or I could just expire the source tape with bpexpdate -m. I know that if I expire an image I can specify a copy number and once expired the other copy will be promoted to primary. Does any one know if the same applies when using -m <tape> for expiration?
