Expired Tapes not changing over to Scratch NBU10.5
Dear all, I`m seeking your advice on troubleshooting this issue. We run several master servers on different sites in our nbu environment. One location has problems with transferring expired tapes automatically to the scratch pool. NBU 10.5 on Windows Server 2022 (Same Master+Media server) Already tested: 1. Checked for "NoExpire" file 2. Checked bptm log for any "delete_expired_media" entries -> these can be found frequently 3. Ran bptm -delete_all_expired (no output in cmd was given) G:\Veritas\NetBackup\bin>bptm -delete_all_expired 4. Ran bpexpdate -deassignempty \NetBackup\bin\admincmd>bpexpdate -m A00212 -deassignempty Search for empty media that meet the following criteria: Media id: A00212 Continue? y/n (n)y No media matching criteria were found to be deassigned. no entity was found 5. Checked media for its origin pool vmquery -m A00212 -X ... Previous Pool: Scratch 6. Checking tape media with bpmedialist \NetBackup\bin\admincmd>bpmedialist -m A00212 Server Host = sbbg05 id rl images allocated last updated density kbytes restores vimages expiration last read <------- STATUS -------> On Hold -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A00212 3 2469 10/15/2024 19:00 10/18/2024 23:34 hcart 12306768008 0 MPX 11/18/2024 22:54 N/A EXPIRED FULL 0 The only thing that seems to be working at the moment is manually resetting the tapes through bpexpdate <mediaid> -d 0 Any advice? Thanks!
