        > Is there a way for me to use an old catalog tape for normal backup?
        There are no images on the tape and when you query the Media DataBase
        you get the following:
        > 'requested media id was not found in NB media database'.   When I
        query the Volume database the status of the tape 0x1.  When I attempt to
        expire the tape with the bpexpdate command I get the following: '
        requested media id was not found in NB media database and/or MM volume
        database'.  I have used the bplabel command, but the tapes are still
        listed as catalog tape.  Is there something I doing wrong or am I
        missing a step?
