bpexpdate

Question

it was interesting to see that the bpexpdate command returns null on the mediaid , but then actually changes the expiry date

&nbsp;

&nbsp;./bpexpdate -m 006661 -d 07/31/2016
	Are you SURE you want to change (null)&nbsp; 
	to expire on Sun 31 Jul 2016 12:00:00 AM ED y/n (n)? y

so you are not sure if it actually changed the expiry date , so you run the command below and it shows that the date has changed.

&nbsp;nbemmcmd -listmedia -mediaid 006661

Seems it is fixed, not an issue in 7.6.1.2

root@womble daemon $ bpexpdate -m TAPE01 -d 07/31/2016
	Are you SURE you want to change TAPE01
	to expire on Sun Jul 31 00:00:00 2016 y/n (n)? y

I agree with you and interested to see if other users have noticed the same.

If this is a bug, then it should be easy for Veritas Support to reproduce and get it fixed.

You will need to log a Support call to bring this to the attention of the Support team.

Chris , Martin ...thanks for responding to this ..

&nbsp;

the -force doesnot come back with a prompt , so it works fine ...there is no confusion.

&nbsp;

i will be upgrading to 7.6.1.2 some time later this week . Will let you all know if that has fixed this minor issue.
