Deleting an inactive inventory erases and removes all virtual tape cartridges in that inventory. In
addition, any unarchived data in the virtual tape cartridges in the inventory is erased. After an
inventory is deleted, reattaching a physical tape drive of the same class creates a new inventory.
To delete an inactive inventory:
1.
Click
SYSTEM TOOLS
, then click
INVENTORIES
. The Inventory page appears.
2.
Click the
Delete
button next to the inventory you want to delete. A message asks whether you
are sure you want to delete the inventory (see Figure 40 on page 79).
NOTE: If all physical tape drives are disconnected from the CP 3100, the CP 3100 recognizes
this condition the next time it boots and continues to emulate the physical tape drives that were
most recently attached.
