Basic and Advanced Operations

Erasing Data on a Physical Tape Cartridge

To erase data on a tape in the CP 3100, click the

tion and issues an Erase Physical Tape Cartridge Attention to the Device Status page of

RemoteAdmin. When you insert a physical tape cartridge, the CP 3100 looks for a matching virtual

tape cartridge. If it finds a match, the CP 3100 does not erase the data on the cartridge (this pre-

vents accidental erasure of a good tape). If no match is found, the CP 3100 erases the data on the

physical tape cartridge (this operation may take several minutes).

NOTE: An erase operation has the highest priority of pending Attentions. Therefore, if you try to

insert a physical tape cartridge associated with a virtual tape cartridge to complete an archive,

the CP 3100 ejects the physical tape cartridge and waits for the tape to erase.

Ejecting a Physical Tape Cartridge

To eject the physical tape cartridge from the CP 3100 physical tape drive, click the

3100 ejects the tape cartridge currently loaded, so long as there is no archive or restore operation

in progress. If an archive operation is occurring, the CP 3100 waits for the operation to end before

ejecting the cartridge.
