Use the Remove Blade screen to select an I/O blade that has been permanently removed from the library.
Library firmware monitors all I/O blades after they are installed in the library. Once an I/O blade is installed, the library expects the blade to be in the same installed location after every power cycle. If an I/O blade is permanently removed or relocated to another location in the library, the library firmware must be configured to stop monitoring the blade location. This is done by selecting the removed I/O blade from the Remove Blade screen. If this is not done, a Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS) ticket could be generated.
You do not need to configure the library to stop monitoring an I/O blade if the failed blade is replaced with a new I/O blade.
