expire image from deleted Storage unit

I recently adding a disk storage unit so I could do a Hot Catalog backup test, the disk path was nfs mounted on another server (/mnt/nfs). The Hot Cat backup work fine and I was able to use it fine for my testing.  After the test I removed the Storage unit from the policy and then deleted it from the Storage units.

I now have a problem that it is always looking for the storage unit with /mnt/nfs.

I can see when searching the catalog it is still in there and I have tried bpexpdate but it gives me a "media open error"

./bpexpdate -backupid vsnnbu_xxxxxx -d 0

So does anyone know how I can force it to remove this Disk Storage unit and the path that is looking for, because they no longer excist?

Thanks

Does the nfs folder still exist in /mnt? If not, try to create it and retry.

If it still fails, try:

bpexpdate -backupid vsnnbu_xxxxxx -justimage -force

I recreated and mounted the nfs path. I still get the same result it fails with can not open media error in the Catalog console.

The command line also did not work.

I guess I will have to open a call for this, but thank you very much for your help

The correct syntax was

bpexpdate -backupid vsnnbu_xxxxxx -d 0 -justimage -force

 

Thanks for the help!
