Removing a tape library

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

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

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