Return tapes to the scratch pool
Hi
I have Netbackup 7.7 with tape library MSL6480. There is a pool for SLP policy. Its name is 1month. There ara a few tapes in this pool with 1 or 2 valid images. So these tapes can not move to the scratch pool. But when I look at "tape contents" one of these tape I see that all images on this tape have expiration date in last year.
How I can see what exactly images are considered valid? And how can I return tape to the scratch pool?
Thank for the help and sorry for my English.
Solution is:
1. Find out all expired tapes not in the scratch pool. (report Tape Summary in GUI)
2. Find out backup id of images giving the problem (nbstlutil list -mediaid <media-id>).
3. Remove images from SLP (bpexpdate -backupid <backup-id> -d 0 -force_not_complete).
Thank Veritas Support for this solution.
Thank Marianne and other peoples for help.
