Deleting a VTL Partition
Delete a VTL partition if it is no longer needed. When you delete a partition, all data stored on
the partition is lost.
If you delete a partition configured for Cartridge Based Replication on the source
ETERNUS CS800, the partition is not automatically deleted on the target
ETERNUS CS800. If you do not want to retain the partition on the target
ETERNUS CS800, you can manually delete it.
To delete a VTL partition:
1. If the partition is online, select the partition and click Offline to take the partition offline.
To delete a partition, it must be offline.
2. If there are tape cartridges in any of the tape drives in the partition, move the cartridges to
storage slots (see "Media Move" on page 229). To delete a partition, all drives must be
empty.
3. Select the partition and click Delete.
You can select multiple partitions to delete at once.
4. Click Yes to confirm the deletion.
If the partition contains tape cartridges, they are exported from the partition before it is
deleted.
