Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80: Tape Drive Replacement
Instructions
Install the replacement tape drive
in the same slot as the removed
tape drive.
There are no special instructions
unless the tape drive you are
replacing is the control path in a
partition with multiple tape
drives, and you want the
partition to remain online during
the replacement procedure.
In this case, select another tape
drive as the control path. From
the Web client, use the Setup >
Control Path menu path.
• If the partition contains only
one tape drive, delete the
partition before removing the
tape drive, and then re-create
the partition after you install
the replacement tape drive.
• If the partition contains
multiple tape drives, and the
tape drive you want to replace
is not the control path, delete
the tape drive from the
partition.*
• If the partition contains
multiple tape drives, and the
tape drive you want to replace
is the control path, select
another tape drive as the
control path.** Then delete
the tape drive you want to
replace from the partition.*
*To delete tape drives from
partitions, select Setup >
Partitions from the Web client.
**To modify the control path,
select Setup > Control Path
from the Web client.
