Well, the tape you've queried is already deassigned (see the "assigned"
field below).
 
"deassignbyid" is a big hammer of command options - I try to do everything I
can before I resort to this.  -MA common "not found in NB media database" is
the need to specify the media server for the tape on the command line,
usually a "-h mediaserver" option.
 
You can find the media server for a tape with "bpmedialist -m <mediaid>".

I'm trying to expire some long offsite media from my UNIX Netbackup media
server and I get the following:
 
 bpexpdate -m SU440S -d 0 -host backitup -force
requested media id was not found in NB media database and/or MM volume
database
 
So I try...
 


vmquery -deassignbyid SU440S 6 0
============================================================================

media type:            DLT cartridge tape 2 (16)
