In a same way as you did for disk device (if this is stanalone device). Before you delete it make sure to unloaded device if anything is loaded and to remove it from pools if it is assigned to any of the pool definitions.
If this is jukebox device, then you can't have same definition for same device on both server and storage node unless you are using DDS. In such case you either use jbedit or jbconfig. If you want to reassign devices to server now I would sugget to delete jukebox and devices (tape devices belonging to that juiebox) and recreate it via jbconfig (use same name).
It is question what you did - you know what you can do now so you either can try that or not. I'm still not sure I understand fully what you are trying to do and why (why would you remove device which is required anyway or why you wish to remove it if you can disable it) so you may get in touch with your support - they might have better understanding of your setup and needs.
As I said, you can remove volume with nsrmm command or you wish to remove whole device go to GUI and remove (if you want that step done via CLI you will need to use nsradmin).
Can you explain what do you mean under remove disk based device? Unmount it or delete it?
I do not understand this search, but I guess you wanted to say you have a device which NW wants to use and you don't so now you wish to remove it. In that case, if you no longer have valid or required data on it, delete device. If you need it, put into readonly mode. Both actions can be performed via GUI or nsrmm command.
Perhaps you are talking about some kind of wizard which I don't use What you can do now is simply unmount volume and delete device. You can do it via GUI or CLI (nsrmm+nsradmin) - your choice.
Andrew, this has been already pointed out how (unmount volume and delete device from NW). If data on volume is really not needed anymore you can delete volume afterwards from NW and finally remove device (directory) from disk. For step by step thing see documentation or your support.
Andrew, from you have said you are doing something you should not do and probably because you don't understand - please open a support call before you do some damage.
If you remove library devices will remain, but they won't be used so there is no need to remove them either. Nevertheless you can remove them. I have no idea what are you trying to do by removing library devices and asking question for disk device.
You should NOT edit autochanger resource and remove devices (unless support advise you so with exact steps - this used to be necessary for certain issues in far past, but not anymore) - that's not how you do it!
let me explain. we have 3 tapes drives attached to our backup server and we used to have 2 storage nodes with disk devices on. we have moved 1 disk device to the backup server so i recreated the disk device with the correct server name. the new disk device works fine.
but even though it is easy to delete the old disk device (from the old storage node) it is not so easy to delete the remote devices it creates for the 3 tape drives
do you understand what i mean? backup server is uksv6115, in devices i have my 1 tape drive at the top, then below that is the remote device which is that tape drive again with the storage node servers name (uksv6105), then the disk devices
\\.\Tape1 rd=uksv6105:\\.\Tape1 x:\uksv6115_disk1
i used to have x:\uksv6105_disk1, but i deleted it as it was moved to the backup server uksv6115
my question is how to removed the remote device for the tape drive of uksv6105

i had to do it that way as it was a storage node so legato was constantly looking for it in the messages window if i did it via the gui

i have a storage node, that has a disk device.
i want to delete it from legato.
the best way i found was vis a command in the command line like jbconfig
but it wasn't that, and i can't remember for the life of me what it was

it has been moved to the backup server
there is a command in the command line that you can use that lets you config or remove devices

rd=servername:tape drive
i have these for the old storage node and our 3 current tape drives
and they don't delete, when try to delete them out of devices when editing autochanger, i get error "incorrect number in loaded volumes" should be 3
which i try entering 3 and it makes no difference
this is why i did it through the command line previously and had no issues
