Hello All, When Image Cleanup runs it's supposed to look at the DB and cleanout images that have expired. After this happens, another process "bpexpdate -deassignempty" returns tapes without valid images to the scratch pool. This sounds great. My...

Yep, it's feasible & works no matter how many "Exchange" media server you have. Each media server is configured with the tape drives (SSO) and a storage unit is created for each media server like normal. The Exchange policy uses the DAG name for the ...
