You will have to move the tape from old media server to one of running =
media servers, then expire from there. For example:
=20
bpmedia -movedb -m <media_id> -newserver <hostname> [-oldserver =
<hostname>]=20
=20
bpexpdate -m <mediaid> -d 0 -host <new server>

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Deassigning tapes written by a defunct media =
server
Hello, I recently decommissioned a media server in our NetBackup =
environment. I now tapes coming back onsite from our offsite storage =
vendor that have fragments written to them by this media server that the =
master server will not deassign, so I have a bunch of tapes that have =
assigned times showing up in one of my volume pools and not being moved =
into the scratch volume pool when their images expire. Does anyone know =
how I can tell my master server to ignore the fact that it can't talk to =
this media server any more and go ahead and deassign these tapes? I've =
tried
=20
bpexpdate -deassign empty -m <media-id> and it fails out with the error:
=20
could not update media list, host is unreachable
host is unreachable.

Thanks,
