Permanently Removing Expansion Modules From an
Existing Library
These instructions explain how to permanently remove an expansion
module from the library.
There are some configuration settings to take into account when
removing an expansion module from an existing library.
• COD licenses remain the same. After the expansion module is
removed, there may be more slots licensed than are available. Only
the available slots appear on the
License
screen.
• All resources in the removed module(s) are removed. A partition
with all resources in the removed module(s) will be present with no
slots or drives. This partition can only be deleted.
The best practice before removing an expansion module is to:
• Using your I/E station, export all the tape cartridges from your
library.
• Delete all partitions.
• Delete all cleaning slots.
• Set the number of I/E station slots to six.
