Hi 

 

The status of the media should be 1 not 0.

 

vmquery -deassignbyid <meidaid> <poolnumber> 1

 

This should work.

 

Dennis

Dear Ueli,

 

I tried deassigning the media but following error was displayed during
deassigning:

 

Could not deassign media ID 036028: the entered volume status does not
match existing status (183)

 

Is there any other alternative for deassigning a media??

Check with

 

vmquery -m <mediaid>

 

if the specified media has an allocation date set. If so the tape is
assigned and has to be unassigned before it can be used for catalog
backup. If bpexpdate does not help use

 

      vmquery -deassignbyid  <mediaid> <poolnumber>  0

 

to manually deassign the tape (do not use this command for tapes you
still need!)

 

Hope this helps

 

Cheers

Hi,

While I'm trying to backup catalog via java console OR bpadm, 

I choose a tape or DSU for catalog backup, it does'nt work and ends with
error "media in use".

I tried to expire the tape since it had only catalog backup, but does'nt
work bpexpdate exits with error. 

Any clues would be helpful.

Regards,
