Deleting Partitions

Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User's Guide
You can modify partition settings any time after a partition is created.
For example, you can modify the name, emulation type, media barcode
format, and number of assigned tape drives and slots.
The library automatically takes the partition offline before modifying it
and places it back online after it has been modified.
The tape drive set as the control path for a particular partition cannot be
deleted from that partition. The check box associated with the control
path is grayed out. For more information on setting the control path,
see Configuring Control Paths
Before modifying partitions, verify that all tape drives are unloaded and
that all cartridges are in their appropriate storage slot location. For
information on unloading tape drives, see
page 127.
You can modify partitions only on the Web client.

A partition can be deleted when it is no longer needed. After a partition
is deleted, its resources (tape drives and slots) become unassigned and
can be used to create new partitions or added to existing partitions.
Before deleting a partition, unload cartridges from the tape drives
within the partition and then export all cartridges from the partition.
Remove the cartridges from the I/E station after exporting them. For
information on unloading tape drives, see
page 127. For information on exporting cartridges, see
Cartridges on page 123s. You can also remove cartridges by releasing
the magazine and removing them by hand (see
page 114). If you do this, be sure to only remove cartridges assigned to
