Complete this task to remove a drive from a logical library.
About this task
Attention: If you remove a drive from the middle
of a logical library, this will cause noncontiguous element address
ranges and may result in problems with certain Independent Software
Vendor (ISV) software.
To remove a tape drive from a logical
library in the TS3500 tape library,
perform the following steps:
Procedure
- From the Work Items navigation pane, select Drives —> Drive Assignment. The Drive Assignment screen
displays.
- Locate the intersection of the logical library column and
drive row that you want, and then follow the appropriate instructions:
- If the drive is a shared drive, select the check mark to remove
it as a shared drive. Then, select the box in the Unassigned column
to add a check mark (which removes the check mark in the logical library
box).
- If the drive is a dedicated drive, select the check mark (to
delete it) in the logical library box or select the box in the Unassigned
column to add a check mark.
- When you have selected (deleted) the check
marks in the Unassigned column for all of the drives that you want
to remove, from the Select Action drop-down box, select Apply,
then select Go.
The Drive Assignment
Operation in Progress screen displays. After a short delay, the Success
screen displays to indicate that the changes are complete.
- Select Close.
The Drive
Assignment screen redisplays. The drives that you selected are checked
in the Unassigned column and are no longer available to the logical
libraries.
Note: To remove a drive canister from a library, go to the
section about removing a drive from a physical library.
