Hi,

During Online backup , the initialization of the tape was successful,but it gives an warning after which i am not able to continue proceeding with the following error:

BR0217W Lock period for volume CPDB01 in device /dev/rmt0.1 not expired

BR0218W Checking label on volume in device /dev/rmt0.1 failed

could you please let us know what needs to be done as I have to take an online backup.

When you label a tape, it´s gets also an "expiration" date so it´s can´t be inadvertently overwritten.

That date is not yet reached on your tape and thus you can´t backup to it. If you want to overwrite the tape, you need to re-label it.

Hi,

Can you please let me know what will be the values to change in the profile parameter init<DBSID>.sap for this.

I do not want to relabel it as it is not allowing me to do so.

Is there any parameter to be changed in the particular profile.
