The Tape Summary report summarizes active and nonactive volumes for the specified media owner according to expiration date. It also shows how many volumes are at each retention level. In verbose mode, the report shows each media ID and the expiration date.

Nonactive media are those with a status of FULL, FROZEN, SUSPENDED, or IMPORTED. Other volumes are considered active.

Expired volumes with a status of FULL, SUSPENDED, or IMPORTED do not appear in the report. However, expired volumes with a FROZEN status do appear in the report. NetBackup deletes other expired volumes from the media catalog when it runs backups. An expired volume of a different status can display under the following circumstances: the expired volume displays if the report is run between the time the volume expires and the time that the next backup is done.
