Try vmquery -w -m media_id, if it finds the media it will list details like
when it expires and where it resides. I don't know the details but I have
noticed that if a tape expires and is not in a robot, it does not show up
with the bp... commands.

My environment is such that I have no media servers. I have two Master
Servers in two separate locations, each with its own attached library.
Neither Master knows the other one exists.

Hello
The media may have been allocated on another media server. You need to
specify
which one with the -h flag. Don't know why it does this but even if you
have
everything centralized to one volume manager, bpmedia still has the concept
of
which media server the tape has been assigned to. It gets confusing since
some
commands use the -h flag to reference the volume manager while bpmedia uses
it
to reference the media server.

>--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
I recently tried to put a DLT tape in FREEZE status using the following
command:
bpmedia -freeze -ev cdy754
I received the following message:
Requested media ID was not found in NB Media database and/or MM Volume
database
The tape shows up in my library and when I reconcile the contents of the
library
with NBU there are no discrepancies. I have issued the same command for
other
tapes and they work fine.
I'm beginning to get STATUS 84 messages for some tapes (they are some of my
older ones) and I freeze them until the current images expire and then
replace
them. This is the first time I've not been able to get at one of them.
Any thoughts?
Regards,
Dennis
