Make `repack --justaddcopies` possible in ACTIVE tapes
Problem
The command cta-admin repack add --vid <vid> --justaddcopies
makes no changes to the tape <vid>
, but still requires it to be in REPACKING
state.
There is no practical reason for this restriction, but doing it results in the tape <vid>
being temporarily unavailable for user retrieves.
Suggestion
Make it possible to trigger --justaddcopies
in ACTIVE
tapes.
The amount of work required to implement this feature needs to be evaluated. Since --justaddcopies
is deeply tied to the repack workflow, separating it may require a lot of extra work.
Task:
- Evaluate the feasibility of making "repack"
--justaddcopies
possible on tapes on user domain.
