1. On the Cartridge Details screen, select all the cartridges that you want to delete and erase.
2. If you have installed a Secure Erasure license, select the With Secure Erasure option if you
want to use Secure Erasure. This option is only available if you have the license installed.
3. Click Go.
The Destroy Cartridge wizard opens and requests confirmation.
4. Click Yes to continue. (You can click No or Cancel to return to the Cartridge Details screen
without deleting any cartridges.)
The system deletes the selected cartridges, and the progress of the delete operation is indicated
on the Destroy Cartridge wizard. Secure Erasure occurs in the background after a cartridge
is deleted.
When the delete operation is complete, a success message appears.
5. Click Finish to exit the wizard and return to the Cartridge Details screen.
When Secure Erase has completed on the cartridges, an alert notification appears on the
Notifications screen.
Unloading a Cartridge from a Drive
If a tape becomes stuck in a drive and cannot be removed using the backup application, unload
the tape using Command View VLS:
1.
Select the tape drive from the navigation tree
2. From the task bar, select Force Unload.
This will return the tape to its original slot.
NOTE: Upon reboot of the VLS or restart emulations, all cartridges that were in drives will NOT
be returned to their original slots. They will be loaded back into the drives. Use Force Unload to
return them to their original slots if needed.
Adding and Removing Barcode Templates
You can add and remove (delete), but not edit, cartridge barcode templates at any time.
NOTE: Deleting a barcode template does not affect the cartridges that were created using it.
