Preparing Partitions
and Control Paths
Depending on the types of tape drives you are removing and installing,
you may need to reconfigure library partitions or change the control
path before you remove and replace the tape drive. There are four
different types of installation, described in the table below. Follow the
instructions in the table before proceeding to the remove/install
procedures.

not assi

•vendor
Install the replacement tape drive in the
same slot as the removed
tape drive.
There are no special instructions unless the tape drive you are
re
