that's fine, but not what I had in mind at all.  

The info in the media db is based upon the 6-characters that come from the barcode rules in place when the tape was first introduced into NBU.  So, in my  example, a tape with barcode AA1000L3 has an entry in the media db as (media id) 1000L3.  When this tape gets images written to it, the images are associated with media id 1000L3.

I want a way to convert the media db so that the entry for 1000L3 is converted to AA1000.  Your command does not do that and I don't see a way for that to be done using the vmchange command.  AFAIK, there's no command that will change the media id
