NOT ABLE TO EXPIRE TAPES

[Nayab_Rasool]

Hi All,

I am not able to expire the tapes as i run command 

bpexpdate  -m 000001 -d 0 

Its throwing error :--> "  requested media id is not assigned to this host in the emm database"

That is because the tape is not assigned.

Therefore, there is no need to expire it.

As Martin says .. if it is not assigned it cannot be expired

An alternative is if the command is being run from the master and the tape belongs to a different server

If you know which server owns it (this is a column that can be added under your media section in the admin console) then re-try the command using

bpexpdate -m 000001 -d 0 -host mediaservername
