Because the tape is suspended - meaning NB won't do anything to it till you 
release it.
Try taking one off of suspension and see if it then expires

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Expired media not returning to SCRATCH & Vault

Hello everyone,

I suddenly noticed we have lots of tapes (in the volume pools assigned for 
VAULT duplicates, and the majority of tapes in here are offsite) that the 
expiration date is oct/2008.  The columns in the volume pool show:

1) the media status is SUSPENDED
2) date expiration (+- Oct/2008)

...plus I can't  query the contents of these tapes (via reports or catalog) so 
apparently, indeed these tapes expired.   

I'm wondering...why didn't they show up in the SCRATCH pool as usual (when all 
images expire on tape)?  Any common reason for this kind of behaviour?

As always, thanks.

Jorge
