In networker 7.3.2 (on windows 2003) media not getting expired even after Browse & Retension Policy is over
 
this happens even in earlier versions. the only remedy that i have is to run a scheduled task (windows) or cron (unix/linux) that will check any expired tapes.

to start, the output of this mminfo will show all tapes that should have expired:

mminfo -q "volretent<'today'" -r volume

to make the make volumes recyclable, the nsrmm command may be used:
nsrmm -y -o recyclable <volume_name>
 
They do have a fix for this type of problem at this time. I have been having the same problem but have not been able to apply fix yet. To let you know if it works or not.
 
I prefer to use

[tt]nsrck -X[/tt]

(daily) instead of nsrmm command.

Cheers.

Huh? How does this display/expire media volumes that are (or should be) expired?

I found an expanded version of the above command to be very useful:
Code:
mminfo -q "volretent<'today'" -r volume,pool,location,volretent
