Tape Reinitialization Jobs

Following an MPC job, a REINIT job reinitializes the old input tapes that the MPC job processed. If CA VM:Backup is interfaced with CA VM:Tape, REINIT jobs immediately expire tapes in the CA VM:Tape tape-management catalog (TMC). You can run the CA VM:Tape SCRATCH command to scratch the expired tapes.

Only authorized clients, such as CA VM:Archiver, can submit REINIT jobs. The CA VM:Backup system administrator cannot submit REINIT jobs for CA VM:Backup backup tapes. REINIT jobs can be created only using TPI.
