Their method is sound in that tech document. Nice concise method.
Catalog tapes have no image information there's no danger to the Image DB by
using deassign by id

I know it's suppsoed to be bad mojo to use this command, due to it possibly
creating inconsistancies in the image db, but I've got a bunch of old
catalog tapes, only written to a few times, that I no longer need as catalog
tapes.......they were being used back when we were sending our offsite tapes
to Iron Mountain, and using Vault to do the Duplication.....so I've got a
bunch of tapes of status "Offsite - Catalog".
Veritas specifies to use this command to recycle catalog tapes for normal
use, and I've used it millions of times in the past for varisou reasons, but
now I'm paranoid.

tapes??
