Deleting a simulated tape library

You can use the Tape Library Simulator Utility to delete a simulated tape library. You must then manually delete the content of the simulated tape library files, and then delete the directories that contain these files.

To delete a simulated tape library

  1. At the Remote Media Agent, stop the Remote Agent for Linux or UNIX Servers daemon.

    See Stopping the Remote Agent for Linux or UNIX Servers daemon.

  2. Navigate to the following directory that contains the Tape Library Simulator:

    /opt/VRTSralus/bin/

    For example:

    cd /opt/VRTSralus/bin/

  3. Start the mktls utility:

    For example:

    ./mktls

  4. Select View an existing simulated tape library.

  5. Select the simulated tape library that you want to delete.

  6. When you are prompted, delete the simulated tape library.

  7. Exit the utility.

  8. Restart the Remote Agent for Linux or UNIX Servers daemon.

    See Starting the Remote Agent for Linux or UNIX Servers daemon.

  9. Find the simulated tape library files, and then manually delete them.

    See About the Tape Library Simulator Utility.

  10. On the media server, restart the Backup Exec services when it is convenient.
