Run this command on each disk pool with infinity retension:
bpimmedia -rl 9 -stype DataDomain -dp {DISK_POOL_NAME}
Once identifyed - what do you plan to do with the infinity images ?

What type of disk do you have - MSDP,DataDomain, StoreOnce, AdvancedDisk, BasicDisk ?
Are the infinity images spread across multiple disk
What retension level do infinity have at youre site - retension level 9 is infinity, but out of the box 10-24 is infinity as well.
This command will list all backup images with retension 9 (infinity) on a MSDP pool called msdp_ural_01
bpimmedia -rl 9 -stype PureDisk -dp msdp_ural_01

Thanks Nicole but with this i am not getting the backup image ID.
Here is my requirement....
We need to identify and find the list of backup images with image ID that has Infinity retention. Only Image id will work for me that has infinity retention.
I tried
bpimagelist -l -hoursago 99999|awk '{print$6 $13}'
and it worked for me.
Thanks.

That is another way of doing it. Just be aware bpimagelist with those options, will list ALL images, also images on tape with infinity images.
