When a virtual library is destroyed, all the tape drives associated with the library are also destroyed. The cartridges in the virtual library, however, are not destroyed. They are moved to the Firesafe where they are stored until you either destroy them or associate them with a virtual library. See "Managing Cartridges" on page 174. To destroy (delete) a virtual library: 1. Open a Command View VLS session and log in as the administrator. See "Opening a Command View VLS Session from a Web Browser" on page 135. 2. Click the System tab. 3. Select the virtual library in the navigation tree. The virtual library details window opens. 4. Click Destroy Virtual Library in the task bar. 5. Click Yes to confirm. 6. Click Finish. 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" on page 175. 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: 1. Open a Command View VLS session and log in as the administrator. See "Opening a Command View VLS Session from a Web Browser" on page 135. 2. Click the System tab. 3. Select the tape drive in the navigation tree. The tape drive details window opens. 4. Click Destroy Tape Drive in the task bar. 5. Click Yes to confirm. 6. Click Finish. HP StorageWorks 169
