I have a pool of tapes which are used for NetBackup Database backup. I
have too many of these tapes in the pool and want to move some to
another pool for regular backup duty. First, I made sure that there were
no recent backups to the media. Then, I did the following:

bpexpdate -d 0 -ev CEI381
vmdelete -m CEI381

using the xvmadm GUI, I ejected the media to the library's import/export
port, "deleted" the media id from the library inventory, and injected
the media back into the library and moved it to the pool for regular
backups.

vmquery -m CEI381 -- showed it's status was 0x0

When NetBackup 3.2 found the media was available for use it mounted it
and issued the following message:

img00 mdsi01 FREEZING media id CEI381, it contains NetBackup database
backup data and cannot be used for backups

Any suggestions??
