Example 3: Deleting a Tape Drive From the System
Use the SCF DELETE TAPE command to delete a tape drive from
the system configuration database.
Before issuing the DELETE command, use the SCF STATUS
command to verify that the tape drive is in the stopped state. For
example:
->STATUS TAPE $TAPE0
STORAGE - Status $TAPE $TAPE0
Ldev State SubState Primary Backup DeviceState
PID PID
20 STOPPED 0, 30 1, 30
If the STATUS command shows that the tape drive is not in the
STOPPED state, use the SCF STOP command to place the tape
drive in the STOPPED state. For example:
->STOP TAPE $TAPE0
The following example removes tape drive $TAPE0 form the
system configuration:
->DELETE TAPE $TAPE0
