72 Library Installation and CRU Replacement
7 If a partition references storage slots within the module you are removing or replacing, delete that
partition. You can create new partitions after modules have been removed or replaced.
The library will not be able to locate tape cartridges that are removed
from one partition and returned to a different partition. The tape
cartridges must be returned to the same partition from which they
were removed.
If the last elements of a partition reside in the module you are removing or
replacing, you may be able to modify the partition instead of deleting it (see
Understanding Logical Element Addressing
on page 543 for information on
how the library logically addresses tape drives and slots). In that case, you
would 1) export those tape cartridges that reside in the module you are
removing or replacing, and 2) modify the partition, instead of deleting it, so that
the partition no longer references any storage or drive elements within the
module you are removing or replacing.
For example, in Figure 17
, after exporting all affected tape cartridges from the
module you are removing, the cleaning slots are deleted, then Library_c is
completely deleted, and Library_b is modified to reduce its storage slot count
by one, since this deletes the storage slot reference in the 9U Library
Expansion Module. No storage element modifications are required for
Library_a.
