Deleting a Tape Library Device
Warning! Make sure the device you delete is not specified in any backup definition. This is especially important for scheduled backups because absence of a device specified in a backup definition causes the backup task to fail.
If you are deleting a SAN device, first make sure it is empty; that is, there are no device paths assigned to it.
To delete an existing device definition:
Click Configure on the Function Tab bar of the window, then click Devices.
Do one of the following:
Right-click the device name or icon to display a context menu. Then select Delete. The selection is indicated by the selection check box next to the device cluster icon and the edit device dialog appears in the right pane.
In the left pane, select the device you want to delete and do one of the following:
From the menu bar, select Device > Delete Device.
On the task panel, click Delete Device.
A dialog box prompts you to confirm the deletion.
Click Yes on the dialog box. The device disappears from the left pane.
Note. If the device is a SAN device and still contains device paths, a device not empty warning message appears. To empty a device, delete all device paths assigned to it.
