Destroying a tape drive

NOTE:
Destroying a tape drive may create a gap in the default LUN numbering on the FC host port to which it
was mapped. If a gap is created, restart the VLS device emulations to remove the gap. See
VLS device
emulations.
Most operating systems will ignore (cannot access) any virtual devices with LUN numbers that follow a
gap in the LUN numbering on an FC host port.
NOTE:
You cannot destroy a tape drive that is currently being used by a backup application.
