New with 6.0

Form the man page for vmquery 

-deassignbyid media_id pool_number stat
               Unassign volume by media  ID,  pool,  and  status.
               Starting  with NetBackup 6.0, this option can only
               deassign non-NetBackup media.  Non-NetBackup media
               includes  media  used by VERITAS Storage Migrator,
               VERITAS Data Lifecycle Manager, or by users  work-
               ing outside of the NetBackup policy framework (for
               example, those using tpreq directly).  To deassign
               NetBackup tapes, use the bpexpdate command.
