Canceling Defragmentation
Depending on the size of the library, defragmenting partitions can be a
time-consuming process. If needed, you can click
Abort
on the
Partitions Defragmentation
dialog box to cancel the defragmentation
operation at any time. When prompted, click
Yes
to confirm the action.
After you cancel defragmentation, the library finishes moving the
current magazine (and any media it contains), then defragmentation
stops. If you cancel defragmentation, no tapes will be stranded, and all
media will still be assigned to the correct partition. You can resume
defragmentation at a later time by clicking
Start
on the
Partitions
Defragmentation
dialog box.

If a defragmentation operation fails (for example, if a power
interruption occurs or the robotics go offline), no tapes will be stranded,
and all media will still be assigned to the correct partition. However, it is
possible that some media which was in the process of being moved will
remain in the I/E station.
In this case, simply import the media into the library. The media will
automatically be moved to a magazine in the correct partition. For more
