Hi all,
I ran vmadm to  print information about volumes that I could deassign based
on their last mounted time.I dont need to retain data on any media that
was written during 2000 and early part of the year 2001. Hence i came out
with a list of such media from the vmadm -> Print information  about
Volumes.Next I tried to deassign such media that i found by issuing a  "
bpexpdate -d 0  -m  mediaid ".A couple of media that i tried to deassign
with this command came back  saying that the requested media id was not
found in NetBackup media database and /or Media Manager volume database.
My intention  is to recycle these media with the same media id that they
had earlier, but how do i recycle them without first  deleting them from
the volume manager database .Any help received would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks
