Title: Message
Indeed
 
By running
 
bpexpdate -m $tape -d 0  (and removing from the mediaDB)
 
expires all images on media and the media becomes unassigned however this just means that the tape is now AVAILABLE.
 
To remove from volDB you need to vmdelete -m $tape
 
If the two above commands are run the other way round you can cause issues .

What is the recommended way, "best practice" to permanently remove tapes from netbackup? We have some tapes they will be removed from one master and shipped to another location to a different master. But I want to make sure that no traces of the tapes remain in the old master. What is the best way to do this without causing any issues?
