How does one expire images on Disk Storage Units

How does one expire images on Disk Storage Units if all you know is the Storage Unit Name?

Check 'Images on Disk' report.

Hopefully this will enable you to identify the STU and associating images?

Expire with 'bpexpdate -backupid <backup-id> -d 0'

Thansk for the speedy reply.......

so cannot expire the entire DSU?

bpexpdate -stype server_type [-dp disk_pool_name [-dv disk_volume]] [-nodelete] [-notimmediate] [-M master_server,...

Also you can take the GUI approach. Use the Catalog section to filter down to the DSU your trying to expire, shift-click the images, right-click and expire them.

No - you can't expire all images in a DSU in one go.
