[Veritas-bu] Media Question

Oh, and the tape should either be in your scratchpool (check that with
"vmpool -listscratch") or the same tape pool of in your policy to send
additional backups to it.

The tape is removed from the media database when it is expired of images,
which is what the bpexpdate command did. If you don't care about the data
on the tape, then you're OK. If you do care, you'll have to import the tape
to recreate the image data (see the SAG on importing).
You should be able to see the tape still in the volume database with the
"vmquery -m R302L1" command.

Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Media Question
I have a tape that "sort of exists, sort of doesn't". It lives in slot
3 of my library. When I run bpexpdate -m R302L1 -d 0 I get:
Requested media ID was not found in NB media database and/or MM
volume
database.
When I run the admin gui, it sees the tape. I've tried re-inventorying
the library. This doesn't show any changes. I'd like to get the tape
back to an active mode so that I can use it. I managed to get myself
in this position by playing with the expiration date on the tape via
the gui. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Barry Lustig
