Remove Drive Reservations
When a tape drive is setup for advanced path failover and a host is lost
or locked up such that it cannot remove host or application applied
reservations and/or media removal preventions for a tape drive, the
reservation must be manually removed. This frees up the drive to be
available by other hosts or applications.
The
Remove IT Nexus
button allows the User or Admin to remove all
host reservations applied to any tape drive.
Note:
The
Remove IT Nexus
button applies for HP LTO-5 or later
drives and is used only when a host is not able to remove or
clear reservations.

Drives
dialog box to manually remove all drive reservations,
