    The bpimagelist output shows that the backup image belongs to the master server:

    Media Type:       Media Manager (2)
 Density:          hcart (6)
 File Num:         38
 ID:               R02210
 Host:             masterserver.bkp.com

     

    So, this shows that you have previously changed ownership for images.

    The problem is with the disk images - although the image ownership was transferred to Master, the Media Descriptor is still recorded as the media server:

    Media Descriptor:        mediaserver.bkp.com

    Have you tried to expire disk images with 'justimage' option?
    This will ensure that NBU will not try to find the actual storage path to delete the images.

Yes Marianne, but I tried to expire the imaged to Disk.
 
But there are many images to Tape as well, which is still active with infinite retention.
 
G:\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\admincmd>bpimage -newserver masterserver.bkp.com -oldserver mediaserver.bkp.com
no entity was found

The disk is not mounted/presented on any other server, its no more available for access.
