Hi All
We have got few media's which does not hold any valid Images but still have got time assigned to it .
When I tried to deassign it using the command below it does not consider it to be eligible for deassign .
F:\Veritas\Netbackup\bin>bpexpdate -deassignempty -m BRU689
Search for empty media that meet the following criteria:
Media id: BRU689
Continue? y/n (n)Y
No media matching criteria were found to be deassigned.
no entity was found
F:\Veritas\Netbackup\bin\admincmd>bpimmedia -mediaid BRU689
no entity was found
F:\Veritas\Netbackup\bin>bpexpdate -m BRU689 -d 0
Media BRU689 is due to expire at 01/01/1970 01:00:00
Are you sure that the data on this media is not critical to
your business, and you are sure you want to delete BRU689 y/n (n)? y
server name not found in the NetBackup configuration
