Stop a Validation in Progress

Stop an in-progress validation to return the tape to its original slot.

The library will automatically stop a validation if a host requests the tape currently being validated. Use this procedure if you need to manually stop a validation. Alternatively, you can cancel the request.

1. Click Cells/Tapes in the left navigation. Select the Tapes table,
2. Identify tapes currently being validated by looking for Cell Type "Drive" and Partition "Media Validation".
   
   

   

   
   
3. Right-click a tape currently being validated, select Media Validation Stop.

   If the option is grayed-out, the validation is not running or is in a state that cannot be canceled (such as unloading).
