And to add when i do bpexdate -m <tape> -d 0 -force im getting message

"requested media id was not found in the EMM database"

I know that as it was written on the SAN media server that the tape can
only be used by that media server but i assumed the upgrade brought all
data into the EMM database

Cheers
