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
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.
