I've done that, on the media and master server.  I've even tried using
the -force switch with no avail.

Michael
What about if you use the HOST command
 
ie: bpexpdate -m <MediaID> -d 0 -h <Servername>

        Netbackup 6 MP2, solaris 8 media server, solaris 10 master
server.  Quantum Superloader, SDLT600.  Each media server has a
Superloader connected locally via SCSI.

        I'm trying to deassign tapes so I can erase/label them for
re-use.  When trying to run the bpexpdate command (on the media server),
it will ask me if I'm sure I want to delete the tape, I answer 'y' for
yes, and it will sit there for hours.  I'll have to do a control-C to
kill the command, and the tape will still be assigned.  I get no error,
haven't seen anything in /var/adm/messages on the media or master
server.  I haven't seen anything distinguishable in the netbackup logs.
Has anyone had any problems like this before?  Anyone have any
suggestions?
