Unloading Tape Drives
The Unload Drive operation allows you to unload a cartridge from a
tape drive to a storage slot. The storage slot and tape drive must be
assigned to the same partition.
This topic focuses on using the library user interface, not the host
application, to unload tape drives. Using the library to unload tape
drives may necessitate performing an inventory with the host
application. See your host application documentation for more
information.
Details about unloading tape drives include:
• The tape drive and storage slot must be assigned to the same
partition.
• Only drives with media loaded appear on the screen.
• You can select only partitions to which you have been given access.
• If the affected partition is online, it will be taken offline before the
unload operation is performed, and brought back online after it is
complete.
You can unload media from the operator panel or the Web client.
