The media id is still there.

do this

/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmquery -m A00000 -b

Its there

bpexpdate doesn't delete the media id, but expire the 
IMAGES that are contained on the media (given your 
example).

You don't need to do anything unless that media id had 
information that you DIDN'T mean to delete.

In which case you will need to perform an import of 
that tape.
