Logical partitioning
From the BS2000 viewpoint, a tape library with two drives looks like two separate devices; it is "logically partitioned"
in X2000. This partitioning is performed automatically and cannot be configured. The slots are assigned to the
devices as evenly as possible, the last (second) drive possibly being assigned one slot more.
Example
Partitioning an ETERNUS LT40 S2 tape library with magazines and two drives:
Mailslot 3 Slot 7
Mailslot 2
Slot 4
Mailslot 1 Slot 1
Table 4: Left-hand magazine
Slot 21 Slot 20
Slot 17 Slot 16
Slot 13 Slot 12
Table 5: Right-hand magazine
The slots shown in bold letters are assigned to the first drive. The slots shown in italic letters are assigned to
the second drive. The cleaning slot (mailslot 3) is not permanently assigned.
In BS2000 mode it must be borne in mind that the two tape devices use the same robot to load and unload the
cartridges; wait times can occur here. The two logical devices are also always in the same operating status. It is not
possible to operate one device in Random Mode and the other in Sequential Mode.
