Version 6.X: If you specify a value of 0 (zero), and the destination storage pool for the archive copy group is a Snaplock storage pool (RECLAMATIONTYPE=SNAPLOCK), retention of the volumes will be set using the value of the server option RETENTIONEXTENSION.

Problem conclusion
In the Tivoli Storage Manager documentation and command-line help, the description of the DEFINE COPYGROUP (Define an archive copy group) command will be updated. In the instructions for setting the number of days to keep an archive copy, the following text will be used: "Specifies the number of days to keep an archive copy. You can specify an integer from 0 to 30000. If you specify a value of 0 (zero), and the destination storage pool for the archive copy group is a Snaplock storage pool (RECLAMATIONTYPE=SNAPLOCK), retention of the volumes will be set by using the value of the server option RETENTIONEXTENSION. This also applies if data is copied or moved into the Snaplock storage pool by a server process such as migration, or by using the MOVE DATA/NODEDATA commands. The default value for the RETENTIONEXTENSION option is 365 (days)." Affected platforms: AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, Linux, Windows, and z/OS.
