Replacing an Expansion Module
These instructions explain how to remove and replace an expansion
module. You may need to replace the expansion module if its chassis is
severely damaged.
A library can use up to four expansion modules to a maximum height of
41U.
There are some configuration settings to take into account when
removing and replacing an expansion module.
• 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.
Note: The maximum number of expansion modules supported
in a library depends on the level of firmware the library is
running. See Updating Library and Tape Drive Firmware
on page 282 for more information.
