Delete a Mount Path

You can delete mount paths from local drives only.

The mount path is not deleted and you receive an error message if the mount path:

• contains valid data

• is used by a deduplication database (DDB)

• is associated with a Storage Policy that is used as an Incremental Storage Policy for another Storage Policy

• Download the delete_mount_path.xml file and save it on the computer where the command is run.

• Open the XML file.

• Change the XML parameters.

  Attribute	Description
  mediaAgentName	The name of the MediaAgent.
  libraryName	The name of the disk library from which you want to delete the mount path.
  mountPath	The mount path location that you want to delete.
  opType	The default value is 16. If you are trying to delete an offline mount path, set the value as 1024.
