The images on the tape also must be expired before the tape is
available.  You can expire images via the catalogue GUI.

NB4.5

=20

I have a select group of tapes that I cannot seem to expire or deassign.

=20

I have run "bpexpdate -m XXXXXX -d 0" and "VMQuery -deassignbyid XXXXXX
3 0 -force" on them successfully.

=20

I have also used "VMQUERY -deassignbyid XXXXXX 3 1 -force"

=20

However, when Netbackup goes to use them it freezes them saying they
have the Netbackup catalog data on them"

=20

If so, its not valid anymore so I'd like to clear them and get them back
in to rotation.

=20

What am I missing?   Checking guides now.

=20

Thanks


Andrew
