Try sticking in a -h <media server name>  "bpexpdate -m <media id> -d 0
-h <media server name)"

Thanks

Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Cannot expire media

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
