So, I'm decommissioning a tape library (the only one attached) so we can attach a new one. NetBackup 7.5.0.6 on Windows 2008R2 master server with a 5200 Appliance as media server
Support tells me to delete storage unit for tape. Great, except it says I can't cause some SLP's reference. Correct, they do. So i go in and find all the SLP's that have a "duplicate to tape" step and remove that step. All gone.
BUT still can't delete, Says use nbstl command to find old versions.
I do, and yup, there they are, the old version WITH the "duplicate to this 'soon to be gone' storage unit" operations are still there.
Cannot figure out how to delete the old versions. Or even change them to remove that step... I know I can delete the slp's and the old versions go away, but was trying to keep them so I knew which ones had to have "duplicate to the 'new library'" steps added.
The nbstl command is complicated, I've got the "Commands" manual, and also some online references, but all I see is to modify "residence" and I can't do that cause really, I don't have something else to put there.
