When using the bpexpdate command you have to specify the host that cont=
ains
the media catalog for the media you are trying to expire, otherwise you=
 will
get this error.  The following command will expire all images on the me=
dia
immediately and unassign it (add -force if you don't want the prompt).

bpexpdate -ev media_id -d 0 -host media_server

If you do not know which host this media has been assigned to, you can =
use
bpimmedia to see which server's catalog contains the images on the tape=
.

bpimmedia -mediaid media_id -L

If there are no images on the tape and it is still assigned, it may be
frozen.  You can use bpmedialist to see if it is frozen.  A frozen tape=
 will
not be unassigned when the images expire.  If it is frozen, you can use=

bpmedia to unfreeze it.

Hope this helps.

Greetings all,

I've been using the bpexpdate command with all the switches and cannot
solve my problem.  We have 4 tapes, dated in 1998 that I've been trying=

to expire, but cannot.  Whenever I try to use the bpexpdate command, th=
e
following message comes up:  "Requested media ID was not found in NB
media database and/or MM volume database".  I did do a report to see if=

in fact it was true, and there were no records for the tapes, but they
are still assigned.

Is there a way (or a command) that I can expire the dates?

I have even tried to move them into a different pool, like the scratch
pool, and it states: "Change pool of XXXXXX failed:  Cannot change
volume pool for assigned volume (91)".  Any recommendations?

Thanks for your help!
