Media Retention
Hi Experts,
I have to increase retention of the images from 1 month to 1 year.
Found we have 4 tapes that have all the required images and 18 images on these 4 tapes.
we dont have mutip...
I agree - go for option 2:
2:- Extend the tape rention to one year. No need to change all images one by one.
Use bpexpdate - NOT the expiration in the Media GUI.
The expiration in Media GUI is HARDWARE expiration - the date on which media is considered to be too old to be used anymore or faulty. It does not change anything about image retention.
bpexpdate is for IMAGE retention and expiration.
If you use bpexpdate with media-id, all images on this media-id will get the new expiration date.To see the clear difference between image retention and hardware expiration on a tape, use this command:
nbemmcmd -listmedia -mediaid <media-id>
