    Thank-you all for your response.

    1. I fixed the media gen id, rescan inventory and it didn't solved the problem. I expired the tapes, ejected then, re-entered them, rescan inventory to got the correct media id.

    Issue was : I didn't want to expire the images/tape, but that was the only way I was able to re-lable re-inventory. I am thinking it was because it was already assigned to the mislabeled media id. The mis-labled media id already had backups on them. When I realized the error, I tried to correct it.

     

    2. Yes, we use NBAC and will try that from the managemet server, meanwhile I was able to run the bpexpire command from the master server.
