NBU701-Media didn't expired automatically after the expiration date

[Vince_Li]

I found that the medias on each libraries didn't change to scratch after the data expiration date.

is there any fix or setting that can help on NBU 701?
 

Thanks

Have a look at 7.0.1 LBN : http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH139092

(ET2106924)  Duplications fail with a Status Code 191/233/44,

Thanks for your reply.

Since i am not running a job to clean up all tapes.

I just wait the system automatically expired the tapes.

Therefore, is it the same case with that KB ?

Image Cleanup runs automatically on a master server. The default is every 12 hours as well as at the end of a backup session.

The downloable hotfix in the TN fixes a problem with 'Image Cleanup completes (Status 0) but is not cleaning images.'

So yes, the hotfix is for automatic expiration that is not taking place.

Thanks for your solution.

but,

is it possible to change the image cleanup schedule?

[Marianne]

Yes - the default of every 12 hours can be changed. Open Host Properties -> Master Server -> Clean-up -> Image cleanup.

Extract from Admin Guide I:

The Image cleanup property specifies the maximum interval that can elapse
before an image cleanup is run. Image cleanup is run after every successful backup
session (that is, a session in which at least one backup runs successfully). If a
backup session exceeds this maximum interval, an image cleanup is initiated.

to modify the default image clean up, you have to select "Open Host Properties -> Master Server -> Right click and select Properties. under Properties select "Clean up".
