Disabling Tape Libraries and Tape Drives

You can temporarily disable a tape library or stand-alone tape drive in DPM to perform

maintenance or repairs.

To disable a tape library or stand-alone tape drive

1. In DPM Administrator Console, click Management on the navigation bar.

2. Click the Libraries tab.

3. In the Display pane, select the tape library or stand-alone tape drive that you want to

remove, and then in the Actions pane, click Disable.

If any jobs are using the tape library or stand-alone tape drive, DPM will not disable the

device until all jobs in progress complete.

If you disable the only tape drive installed on the DPM server, all jobs that are scheduled

to use the tape drive will fail.

Removing Tape Libraries

Removing Tape Libraries

If you physically disconnect a tape library or stand-alone tape drive, or physically remove a drive

from inside a library that is associated with a protection group, DPM Administrator Console

displays the disconnected or removed tape library or stand-alone tape drive as offline.

If you disconnect or remove a tape library or stand-alone tape drive that is not associated with a

protection group, the entry for the tape library or stand-alone tape drive is removed from DPM

Administrator Console during the daily inventory or when rescan runs, whichever occurs first.

If you remove a tape library that is associated with a protection group and you do not intend to

bring the tape library online again, you should modify the protection group to specify a different

tape library. When all protection groups that were associated with the tape library that you

removed are associated with other tape libraries, the entry for the tape library or stand-alone tape

drive will be removed from DPM Administrator Console during the daily inventory or when rescan

runs, whichever occurs first.
