How to Delete a Library

Deleting a library logically removes it from the server to which it is attached. Data contained in the library is no longer accessible to the archiving file systems associated with the library, but the data itself is not destroyed.

Before You Begin

If you have not configured archiving, staging, and recycling for the library, you can immediately delete the library. Otherwise, you must first remove these configurations. For instructions, see Removing Archiving, Staging, and Recycling Configurations.

  1. From the Manage Hosts menu or the Managed Hosts page, choose the name of the server that you want to administer.
  2. From the navigation tree, choose Archive Media.

    The Tape Library Summary page is displayed.

  3. Select the radio button next to the name of the library you want to delete.
  4. From the Operations menu, choose Delete from the list of commands.

    A message prompts you to confirm the deletion.

  5. Click OK.
