Destroying a Tape Drive NOTE: Destroying a tape drive may create a gap in the default LUN numbering on the Fibre Channel host port to which it was mapped. If a gap is created, restart the VLS device emulations to remove the gap. See "Restarting VLS Device Emulations" (page 109). Most operating systems will ignore (cannot access) any virtual devices with LUN numbers that follow a gap in the LUN numbering on an Fibre Channel host port. NOTE: You cannot destroy a tape drive that is currently being used by a backup application. To destroy a tape drive, from Command View VLS: 1. Click the System tab. 2. Select the tape drive in the navigation tree. The tape drive details window opens. 3. Click Destroy Tape Drive in the task bar. 4. Click Yes to confirm. 5. Click Finish. 102 Configuration
