Preparing to Remove or Replace a Module
Note: If the last elements of a partition reside in the module you
are removing or replacing, you may be able to modify the
partition instead of deleting it. (See Understanding Logical
Element Addressing on page 35 for more information on
how the library logically addresses tape drives and slots.)
In that case, you would 1) export those tape cartridges that
reside in the module you are removing or replacing, and 2)
modify the partition, instead of deleting it, so that the
partition no longer references any storage or drive
elements within the module you are removing or
replacing. See Modifying Partitions on page 73.

For example
cartridges from the module you are removing, the cleaning
slots are deleted, then Library_c is completely deleted, and
Library_b is modified to reduce its storage slot count by
one, as this deletes the storage slot reference in the
expansion module. No storage element modifications are
required for Library_a.
