• Moving a target cartridge from its existing library to a different library or to the firesafe, or to a different slot that is not part of the echo copy pool, does not move the source cartridge. • Moving a target cartridge from its existing library to a different library, or to a new slot in the same library within a new echo copy pool, results in the source cartridge disappearing from the echo copy pool but not moving from its existing library. To move cartridges, from Command View VLS: 1. Click the System tab. 2. Select Cartridges in the navigation tree. The cartridges details window opens. 3. Select the number of cartridges to display from the menu beside the category of cartridges you wish to move. The options are 10, 50, 100 (default), 500, or 1024 cartridges. 4. Click View beside the category. The cartridges parameters window opens. 5. Select the Select box next to each cartridge that you want to delete, or use Select All to delete all the cartridges listed. 6. Select the destination from the Move Selected To menu. 7. Click Go to the right of the Move Selected To menu. NOTE: If you have moved a large number of cartridges, allow approximately 20-30 minutes for the VLS system to fully free up the resources from the move before making changes based on the move. Deleting Cartridges You can delete one or more cartridges at a time from the VLS. The delete cartridge operation removes the specified cartridges from the VLS, freeing the storage space previously consumed by those cartridges for new data. For more security, you can use the licensed Secure Erasure feature. Secure Erasure provides guaranteed erasure of information on virtual tape cartridges. (You must purchase a separate license for this feature.) You can schedule all or selected cartridges for a total data overwrite to ensure that no data can be retrieved. The erasure procedure conforms to NIST guidelines as required in many regulated industries and government agencies that mandate that data must be destroyed after a certain period of time. This erasure is comparable to tape shredding of physical tapes. CAUTION: If you want to keep data that is currently on a cartridge that you are going to delete, copy the data to another cartridge using a backup application before performing this task. NOTE: You cannot delete a cartridge that is currently being accessed by a backup application. Cancel all replication and deduplication jobs associated with this cartridge first. You may delete replication cartridges on either the source or the target VLS with the following results: • Deleting a source cartridge results in the mirror copy pool on the target VLS moving to the Mirror Broken state. • Deleting a target cartridge results in the cartridge disappearing from the mirror copy pool on the source VLS.
