I'd recommend pulling the two tapes with incorrect labels out of the library. Then do a move data on the two tapes with the duplicate label but real data to move that data to new tapes. Then after your reuse delay period, those two tapes will drop out of the storage pool (assuming you are using s

There in lies my confusion! You guys got me on the right track. Apparently our TSM was setup so that each node uses a single mgmt class. Some do not have include statements at all and thus use the default for the domain. We have some boxes however that have included a specific mgmt class with *.*

Part of the issue is with the question: in general, there is no such thing as "retention for node xxx". With TSM, retention is handled at the file/object level, not at the node level. For example, you can have two files on your system, c:\file1 and d:\file2. Using include/exclude statements, yo
