Removing tapes using the ACSLS utility

If you remove media from an ACS robot, you must move the media logically to stand alone in NetBackup.

If you do not move media logically, NetBackup does not know that the media were moved. NetBackup may issue mount requests for it, which causes a misplaced tape error.

However, you can move media from one location to another within the robot. The ACS library software finds the requested media if its database is current.

To remove tapes using the SCSLS utility

  • Do one of the following:

    • Update the volume configuration by using the NetBackup robot inventory function.

      See the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I.

    • Move the volumes.

      See the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I.
