Troubleshooter: Deleting Volumes
The purpose of this troubleshooter is to diagnose why volumes in TapeTrack cannot be deleted.
To diagnose why you cannot delete volumes, select the error presented:
Security Does Not Allow This Operation
The error Security does not allow this operation
indicates your User-ID does not have sufficient access rights to delete volumes from TapeTrack.
To delete Volumes from TapeTrack you will need to either:
- Have you Administrator raise your access to include
Alter
rights. - Have a user with
Alter
rights remove the Volumes for you.
Actual Repository Does Not Allow Volume Deletes
The error Actual Repository does not allow volume delete
indicates that the Repository Option Allow deletes
is set to false. This option is set to false by default to limit the ability of accidental deletion of Volumes.
It is best practice to keep
Repository Option Allow deletes
set to False
unless in the actual process of deleting Volumes. This keeps a safeguard on accidental deletion during normal operation.
To enable Volumes deletion:
- Right click required Repository and select
Properties
or double-click repository. - Select
Options
tab. - Click
Save
to confirm alterations.
