Greetings all,

I have a couple of questions to ask regarding manually expiring a few
images on a particular tape.  These images have an infinite expiration
date.  I have tried several different commands but with no luck.  I have
tried to manually expire the tape using vmquery -deassignbyid.  This
does work, but the 3 infinite images are still there.  I try to use the
bpmedia -unfreeze command, and it comes up with "requested media id was
not found in NB media database and/or MM volume database".  I then tried
to use the bpexpdate command, but it comes up with the same message as
above.  There is no other information on this tape, just the 3 images
which I want to expire.  Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
