SSO environment, 5.0MP1, Solaris master, 3 Solaris SAN media servers, 7 W2K SAN 
media servers, LTO2 tape.
 
I have a number of media stuck in a funky state and I can't figure out how to 
release it.
 
The java GUI shows the media assigned in a pool. From the "last mount" field 
I'm certain there's nothing useful on these tapes.
 
vmquery acknowledges existence of the media.
 
bpexpdate operations yield "requested media id was not found in NB media 
database and/or MM volume database.
 
Attempts to import with 'bpimport -create_db_info -id S00104' yield error 176. 
Detailed status says "Cannot import media id S00104, that media id is already 
active on some other server."
 
I've run consistency checks on the master server with nothing out of the 
ordinary.
 
I tried 'bpmedia -movedb -m S00104 -newserver nbumaster' It didn't give any 
error, but it didn't seem to do anything either.
 
Any idea how I free this up?
