Note: In general the guidelines provided above should be sufficient for normal operations to insure proper reclamation of space is conducted preemptively. Refer your individual DMA applications for best practices and guidelines regarding tape reuse. Product Specific Guidelines In the event that space becomes an issue or a user impact requires manual cleaning, media can either be manually Erased, Blanked, Scratched or otherwise recycled and a manual cleaning cycle initiated on the DR Series system. For NetBackup the following steps can be used when a situation dictates that space must be reclaimed manually. 1. Identify the DR Series system VTL tapes that have been written to via the NetBackup Administrative Console. Note down the Media IDs of the tapes that you want to erase and reclaim their storage on the DR. Be sure to only note the tapes you are assured can be erased. Important: This will permanently delete / destroy the data on these virtual volumes. 2. Run the following script with the media IDs to enable the tapes to be relabeled and erased. set label="" "C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\bpmedialist.exe" -m %label% "C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\bpexpdate.exe" -m %label% -d 0 "C:\Program Files\Veritas\Volmgr\bin\vmquery.exe" -m %label% 89 Setting up the Dell™ DR Series System on Symantec™ NetBackup™ | July 2015
