All expired tapes will be shown in output of
'/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/available_media' as AVAILABLE.

If all images are expired (and the tape isn't frozen) then it will become
unassigned.  bp* commands won't show this (e.g. bpmedialist).

Use vmquery -w  If the assigned date is 00/00/0000 00:00 then it is
unassigned
and available for reuse.  You can query by volume group with -v option to
only
look at certain tapes.

Don't forget that unassigned tapes stay in the same pool, so you may have to
change the volume pool if you want something different.

Maybe I'm just being dense today but I can't see the answer....

I need to produce a list of already expired tapes with a given barcode.
I have different barcodes for different sites and the offsite storage
for one of these sites is here.  So I have a slew of tapes in a safe
here but need to know which ones can be re-used.  The media summary
report lists tapes that are going to expire and when, but not tapes that
are currently expired (is this correct?).
