Deleting Logical Libraries

Changing Logical Library Access

Changing Logical Library Modes

Note: On the Web User Interface, all logical libraries must be deleted for the
Automatic button to appear. If the Automatic button does not appear, delete
all existing logical libraries.
Every logical library must have at least one drive and one storage slot assigned to
it.For example, if the library has two tape drives and 12 slots available, the
maximum number of logical libraries that can be created is two. Up to 12 slots can
be allocated between the two logical libraries in any configuration.
If the library has only one logical library with all resources assigned to it, that
logical library must be deleted before reallocating resources to a new logical
library.
You may need to provide information for the following fields:
v Logical Library Name can be up to a maximum of 12 alphanumeric characters.
v Media Barcode Format Choose standard, plus six, or extended format.
v Automatic Drive Cleaning is enabled by default and requires at least one
cleaning cartridge and a communication interface to the tape drive with the
ability of the tape drive to indicate that cleaning is needed.
v Number of Slots is the number of tape cartridge slots that are to be allocated to
the new logical library.
A logical library can be deleted when it is no longer needed. After a logical library
is deleted, its resources become unassigned and can be used to create additional
logical libraries or added to existing logical libraries.
An administrative user can control what logical libraries a specified user can
access. This is done by modifying a user's account.
To change logical library access, you must provide the following information:
v Password - a unique string of alphanumeric characters that can be viewed and
modified by the Administrator.
v Privilege level - the library functions a user is assigned access. Refer to "User
Privileges" on page 6-9 for more information on user privilege levels.
By default, the library has one logical library enabled. The logical library mode
must be changed in order to modify the logical library or library. There are two
logical library modes: online and offline.
v Online - the normal operating condition for a logical library. In this mode, the
robotics are enabled and all host application commands are processed.
v Offline - the logical library does not process any host application commands. If
a logical library is taken offline, the physical library and other logical libraries
are not affected.
You can take the physical library or any of its logical libraries online or offline.
Some operations require that the logical library be offline. Administrative users can
take a logical library offline rather than the entire library so as to minimize
