Eric,
If bpmedia -unfreeze doesn't work for you then try this below. It always
work for me.
1. install_path\volmgr\bin\vmquery -m media_id
2. install_path\volmgr\bin\vmquery -deassingbyid media_id# pool_number
stat
3. install_path\netbackup\bin\admincmd\bpexpdate -m media_id# 0
Step one will provide you the tape info which include the pool_number
and stat.
Good luck!
Tommy

Try 'bpmedia -unfreeze -m <mediaid> -h <media_server>'. That works for
me when
I get "requested media id was not found...".
