problems (for example, capacity activation files that exceed the physical capacity of the
library).

2.
Select Tools > Hardware Activation .
3.
Click the Delete Hardware Activation Files tab.

Select the activation file to delete.
Note:
As of firmware FRS_8.31 and SLC 6.25, a single partitioning
hardware activation file activates partitioning across an entire library
complex.
Note: You may need to perform additional tasks to use the new
feature (see "Configuring Capacity" on page 4-1 and "Partitioning the
Library" on page 5-1).
Note:
To display a log of all hardware activation activity, use the
Reports utility (see "Viewing Library and Device Reports with the
Reports Utility" on page 12-1).
