Adding And Removing Drives; Emulation Types For Tape Devices - HPE StoreOnce 6500 User Manual

Table of Contents

CAUTION: Take care when changing the Port configuration because the system does not

automatically reassign any drives that may now be configured incorrectly. For example, if you

change from a multiple Fibre Channel port configuration to a single Fibre Channel port, manually

correct those drives that are connected to the wrong port when the status shows ready and

restarted. See Viewing the Interface Information on page 32.

5. Click Update.

Notes:

It is possible to edit some, but not all, device details after creating a library.

•

Delete cartridges by reducing the number of slots on the Devices page. This reduction will only

remove the highest-numbered empty slots. Once the Delete operation reaches a slot number that

contains a cartridge, it will not allow further reduction on the Details page, even if previous slots are

empty. To open previous slots, first use the Cartridges tab to delete the cartridge from the slot.

•

Changing the cartridge size (by changing the emulation type) on this page will only change newly

added cartridges; it does not change the size of cartridges that were already created.

•

You can reduce the number of drives but, if you go to 0, the port setting will change to "No Port".

The Number of Drives field can only be edited during library creation. After library creation, there is a

separate button to Add/Remove drives.

•

You cannot change the library type to a type that has a smaller set of maximum values (for example,

the number of cartridges).

•

You cannot enable or disable deduplication.

•

Once the library is created and the correct license is applied, the Secure Erase Mode box appears on

the Device Details tab. The selection box defaults to None, meaning Secure Erase is disabled. To

enable Secure Erase, select the preferred number of Overwrite Passes (1, 3, 5, or 7). If enabled, this

feature allows you to securely erase confidential data that may have unintentionally been backed up

as part of a regular backup job. See Security features on page 199 and License management on

page 188 for more information.
