Yes, a frozen status will keep your tape assigned after it expires and 
will not become unassigned (available) unless you manually do something, 
but the available_media report and bpmedialist will show the FROZEN status 
along with FULL (if that's the case).  The original poster said they got 
FULL but didn't mention anything about being frozen.

Suspended tapes will become unassigned when the images expire.  That's the 
difference between Frozen and Suspended.

Frozen tapes can hold your media captive, including expired images
(that will report as non-expired, even though said expiry date is
in a past far, far away). It'll probably the same for suspended
tapes.

&gt; &gt; Try running bpexpdate -deassignempty. &nbsp;This should cause it <br>
