Deleting an optical library

You can delete an optical library definition within the specified SCDS. Before the optical library definition is deleted, all optical disk drives defined for that optical library are deleted and all storage groups constructs that reference the optical library are updated to not reference that optical library. This is done automatically as part of the optical library deletion process.

From the Optical Library List panel, enter DELETE in the LINE OPERATOR column next to the optical library you wish to delete. When you press ENTER, the Confirm Delete Request panel, shown in Figure 1, is displayed.

        a 3995 Model 131, 132, 133 or C3A, then any Library connected to it
        (such as a 3995 Model 111, 112, 113, C12, C16, C18, C32, C34, C36
        or C38) will also be deleted in the same manner.  Definitions
        will not be removed from the OAM Configuration Database
        DB2 tables.  DB2 (SPUFI) can be used for this purpose.

Use ENTER to Perform Operation;
Use HELP Command for Help; Use END Command to Exit.

Confirm that the displayed library is the one that you want to delete. If it is, enter Y for YES and press ENTER. The Optical Library List should appear with ‘*DELETE’ in the LINE OPERATOR column next to the deleted library.

Note: If an optical controlling library is deleted, any attached optical library expansion unit and optical disk drives are also deleted. To delete an optical library from the OAM configuration database, use the DB2I or SPUFI tools.
