    Sure that expiring this media solved the problem?

    The media was still assigned because it is in FROZEN state.

    You will have to unfreeze the media in order to use it.

      Cordial saludo,

      Se notifica que se descogela el medio y posterior a ello permite asignar el pool que se desee.

      Gracias por vuestras explicaciones, me ayudo para solventar el mismo problema que estába presentado.

      Cualquier duda o comentarios al respecto quedamos atentos.

      Cordialmente,

    Resolved the issue.

     I have expired the media using bpexpdate. it was preventing me to perform import due to entry of old expiration date. then I was able to change the volume to Import. Import 1 completed successfully.

    Yes, I unfreezed it and used for import. Previously I was not able to unfreezed too..

    I was aware that "it is not possible to change the pool of an assigned media". I was expecting the solution to why its happened. when I tried to perform import on other netbackup master server. the media was showing assigned. Anyways, I think my question was not clear and this one is the solution which I can expect ;-) Thank You..:)
