Cannot Expire Media (invalid command parameter)

Question

Hello,

I've got 3 pieces of media that I can't expire, no matter what I do.&nbsp; This media has a status of "active".&nbsp; It's not frozen, and it exists in the database to the best of my knowledge.&nbsp; Adding it to the database has no effect on expiring it.&nbsp; Here is the message I get when I attempt to expire it.

T5120-04# bpexpdate -m STK470 -d 0
Media STK470 is due to expire at INFINITY
Are you sure that the data on this media is not critical to
your business, and you are sure you want to delete STK470 y/n (n)? y
invalid command parameter
T5120-04#

I have logging turned on, so if the experts need something from logs, just let me know.&nbsp; I'd hate to have to blow away netbackup, but it is a test environment, so if I absolutely have to, i will.

Thanks!

1. Stop me if you've heard this one:&nbsp;What version of NetBackup are you using?
2. If you're using 6.5.x, are Storage Lifecycle Policies in use?

I have a hunch you may need to open a support case and be prepared to send us some NBCC&nbsp;output but your answers may change that hunch. &nbsp;:)

I forgot to mention the details.

Server: Solaris 10 SPARC
Netbackup Version: 6.5.5

Sorry about that, CRZ.

Yes, ti's NBU 6.5.5 on Solaris 10 Sparc.&nbsp; Yes, I am using Storage Lifecycle Policies in the particular environment.

I've downloaded NBCC and I'm in the process of installing it.

This does appear to be SLP related.

First off, I have NBCC installed.

I have deleted all the drive and stoage units, prior to this, however when I just tried to delete the SLP, I got the following:

T5120-04# nbstl T9840B -delete
Exit error: images are in process
EXIT status = 1519

That lead me to run this command and it looks like there are jobs "IN&nbsp;PROCESS".&nbsp; Could this be the cause? &nbsp;I can't delete the SLP either.

to bounce NetBackup to kill the SLP jobs in process and then try bpexpdate again?

erosenburg · Answer

I've done that.&nbsp; In fact, I've power cycled the master server, and the 4 other media servers, plus power cycled the ACSLS&nbsp;server, along with the SL8500 library.&nbsp; It still fails.
