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.
Use the Drives dialog box to manually remove all drive reservations,
persistent and non-persistent. To remove a drive reservation:
1 Select Tools > Drives to display the Drives dialog box.
2 Select a drive in the list, and then click Remove IT Nexus . A warning
dialog box displays stating that removing the reservation may cause
a loss of data.
3 Click Yes .
4 A dialog box displays indicating that the operation was a success.
5 Click OK .
Force Eject a Tape
When a tape is not responding to an Eject command and/or the drive is
not accessible for a manual eject, you can use a set of commands to
force eject the tape.
1 Select Tools
>
Drives to display the Drives dialog box.
2 Select a drive in the list, and then click Power Cycle . A warning
dialog box displays stating power cycling the drive may cause a loss
of data.
Caution: Make sure that the drive is not being used by the host
and/or performing any I/O to the drive.
