Removing a tape drive

You can use the following procedure to remove a tape drive that is no longer required.

When you remove a tape drive, the information about the tape that is loaded is not deleted from the NetVault Database. You can use the tape on any other drive that supports the media type. Scanning is not required if you use the tape in the same NetVault domain. In a different NetVault Domain, you must scan the tape to access the backups.

To remove a tape drive:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Manage Devices.
2
In the list of devices, click the icon to open the library that contains the drive, and then click the drive or the corresponding Manage Drive icon .
3
On the Tape Drive Management page, click Remove, and then in the confirmation dialog box, click OK.
