You could always do a vmquery -deassignbyid
But afteryou do this make sure you delete the tape and then let NBU
recreate it with an inventory robot. If you don't delete the tape in
NBU 5.x you can end up with 2 media servers writing to the same tape
causing data loss.

Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] could not deassign media due to Media Manager
error
Is this tape assigned to a media server that no longer exists?

Morning
Have an old LTO1 tape that has not been written to in over 12 months.
When I run the media list it shows this tape 0807L1 expired 29th March
06.
Today is the 30th.
The status of the tape shows expired MPX
So when trying to bpexpdate -m 0807L1 -d 0 it tell me it could not
deassign
media due to media manager error.
Any tips on how to remove this from the report? Netbackup believes it is
assigned to a volume and I can see it.
The tape is not stored in the library and there will be no need to
re-use
this tape in the future
Thanks
Regards
Simon Weaver
