bulk remove tape drives

Post by LawrenceParson »

i ahve 2513 tape drives showing in my veeam environment after a member of my team tried to add one of our Dell tape libraries.

Is there a way to remove them all in one hit instead of the one by one process?

Are they shown as individual, offline drives? You may want to write a PS script in order to delete those in automatic fashion. Thanks.

I don't have a console at hand, but the script should look like this:

Code: Select all

asnp VeeamPSSnapin
Get-VBRTapeDrive | where {$_.Location -eq "Offline"} | Remove-VBRTapeLibrary 
Thanks.
