I posted this earlier looking for some help. I am updating my request for help.

http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.dataprotectionmanager&tid=e20cf4d0-6b3b-4375-833c-2fadbbf233e4&cat=en_US_c18d9b67-8a4f-493f-99fa-246042fd5824&lang=en&cr=US&sloc=&p=1

After migrating to a newer DPM server, I cannot reuse any of my tapes. When 
I run the force tape free script, I get the following error message after it 
expires the data on the tape:

PS C:\users\Administrator\Desktop> .\ForceTapeFree.ps1 
DPM server name: : dpmsrv02 
Library name: : HP StorageWorks MSL6000 Series Medium Changers 
Tape location: : slot-1 
Set-Tape : The tape belongs to another DPM server (ID: 24003) 
At C:\users\Administrator\Desktop\ForceTapeFree.ps1:72 char:21 
+ Set-Tape <<<< -Tape $media -Free 
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Set-Tape], DlsException 
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : 24003,Microsoft.Internal.EnterpriseStorage.Dls.U 
I.Cmdlet.MarkMedia

The tape will then show up in the list as expired, but all options to mark 
the tape free or erase tape is greyed out. I can recatalog the tape and then 
the tape will not show as expired. I can view the data on the tape.

        Can you please check on the original thread, Nikhil has replied to 
it.

Thanks,
Praveen D [MSFT]
