I did try that on the master server ./bpexpdate -m XXX -d 0 -host "Mediaserver" -force I don't get the "Are you SURE you want to delete XXXX y/n (n)?" when I try it from the master server. It just sits there...
I have a call logged in veritas right now. The veritas tech said that it could be a problem with my EMM database, and that I should try upgrading to MP3....I think that's a cop-out answer. I don't want to move to MP3 because of all the problems I keep hearing about it. But If I can't recycle my tapes with MP2, I might now have a choice. -- Mike -----Original Message----- From: Justin Piszcz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 13, 2006 12:46 PM To: Sponsler, Michael Cc: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Bpexpdate not working, freezing Give what Simon said a try, a ./bpmedialist should show you the media server it was used to mount the tape.
