What I read (thanks to Andy for the tech doc) Is it by default it runs every 12 hours, even if the image cleanup runs more often. -Original Message- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of A Darren Dunham Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 2010 7:06 PM To: Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] expiring images On Wed, Nov 10, 2010 at 11:08:35PM +, judy_hinchcli...@administaff.com wrote: bpexpdate -deassignempty was the command I was looking for.

Re: [Veritas-bu] expiring images
I just checked my email logs from the media_deassign_notify script. (I need to label expired VTL tapes.) It appears they come out at random times at least once a day. The support site also states that nbpem will run the deassignempty every 24 hours -- it ain't on the dot. Or if nbpem finishes its cycle it will run deassignempty also. Bryan ps.

I think because it are copy 2 tapes, when I try this on a single tape it works fine but on those duplicates it doesn't expire the tape.=20 I'm not sure I understand what behavior you're seeing. So if you bpexpdate one tape, it should expire any copies on that tape. Does it do so? It will not expire copies of the same image on other tapes. You'd use the (-m MEDIA) option if you want a piece of media to be cleared, expiring any remaining images still on it. You'd use the (-backupid BACKUP_ID) option if you want all copies of an image on any tape to be expired.
