If a primary copy of an image expires & there's another copy, then that copy
is automatically promoted to the primary image. If you want to force that
promotion early then there's the "bpchangeprimary" command.

We'll just file that under 'duh' then. I didn't even think of the easy
one. :>)
Thanks, Mark.
In the case of disaster recovery, what's the general practice to make
the offsite dupes the primaries? Or, is that even necessary?
Thanks again,

You should be able to extend the retention period with the "bpexpdate"
command. It'll take the media-id as a command-line parameter.

Greetings, all.
I sent some tapes offsite, and forgot to extend their retention period
(d'oh!). The originals have expired. I imported in all the tapes
successfully, but now I want to extend their retention period (the
retention period is supposed to be a year).
I tried making dupes, I tried ./bpchangeprimary, I know there must be
a
way to either change the retention period of these tapes, or make
dupes
of the imprted tapes that have the right retention period.
Here they are in 'available media':

Here are some of the command I've tried:
./bpduplicate -v -dstunit R2D2 -dp Unix_Monthly -Bidfile
/dan/schedules
-L /monthly_ops/logs/MMORA1.import -rl 6 -mpx -PM (where
/dan/schedules

criteria

EXIT status = no entity was found (227)
# ./bpchangeprimary -copy 2 -id mmora1_1039929416
The default starting date for image acquisition is January 1, 1970.
Continue? y/n (n)y
no entity was found
0 images changed.
# ./bpchangeprimary -copy 1 -id mmora1_1039929416

Any ideas?
TIA,
