Use mminfo to query your media and use the '!near' condition - this will
list all tapes that are not in a library - for that list of tapes, loop
through them with the mmlocate command and set the location to blank...

Subject: [Networker] How to change location field for volume?
Hi,
Is there a way to change the location that NetWorker reports for a
volume to empty or null; in other words what ever it would report if the
tape was no longer in the library?
We're running 7.2.2 on Solaris using a Linux storage node (7.2.2). We
have a bunch of tapes that are still listed in one of our tape
libraries, but they're no longer physically in that library. Most are on
shelf and some are off site. The reason this happened is because we had
an old 6.x server, and then we set up a new 7.x server on a new box
(same host name). When we transferred everything (indexes, media
database, etc.), the status quo was fine. Later, we temporarily shut
down the new server and brought up the old server and removed most of
the tapes from that library, so the old server is in sync. Only 4 of
those tapes are still in there. Then we shut the old server down and
brought the new server back up.
The new server sees the 4 tapes correctly and sees that all the other
slots are empty which is correct, but the volumes listing still reports
those other volumes as being located in that library.
Other than reloading all those tapes, inventorying them, removing them
and then re-inventorying the slots, is there any way around this
situation?
In some cases, I have some tapes off site that would be a pain to
re-load.
Thanks.
George
