NOTE: You cannot destroy a library that is currently being accessed by a backup application. 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. 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 Command View TL. 2. Click the System tab. 3. Select the virtual library in the navigation tree. The virtual library details window opens (Figure 49). Figure 49 Virtual library details window 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 FC host port to which it was mapped. If a gap is created, restart the VLS device emulations to remove the gap. See Restarting the VLS device emulations. Most operating systems will ignore (cannot access) any virtual devices with LUN numbers that follow a gap in the LUN numbering on an FC host port. NOTE: You cannot destroy a tape drive that is currently being used by a backup application. HP StorageWorks 81
