3. Click the button to the left of the virtual tape and logical tape you want to disconnect.
4. After reading this note, click Delete Tape Connection.
Note: Deleting the connection does not remove the virtual tape presented to your host.
Before deleting a connection, stop the connected tape device on the host. Then delete all
devices and device settings using the appropriate option. Deleting a virtual tape without
stopping the tape device can require a forced reset of the attached device.
Switching a tape connection
To switch a device from one host to another, you must first delete the current connection
and then add the disconnected tape to another host:
1. Follow the procedure for deleting a tape connection.
2. Follow the procedure for adding a tape connection.
Note: All Virtual TapeServer settings can be edited. If a device is part of an active
connection, you can change only the icon. Changes to basic device parameters such as the
SCSI ID of a virtual drive usually require a forced reset of the attached device on your host.
