Configuring Library Partitions

This operation can be executed from only remote panel operation.
The library has a flexible partitioning scheme with a few key constraints:
• The license option is necessary to create more than 2 partitions.
• Each partition must have at least one tape drive. One drive in each partition will host the library LUN for
the partition.
• The maximum number of partitions is 20.
• Magazine slots are allocated in five-slot groups.
• Mailslots must be enabled for a module before they can be allocated to a partition.
A partition does not need to have a mailslot. If a partition does not have a mailslot, the magazine must be
accessed to import or export cartridges. Opening a magazine takes the library off line.
Although the mailslot magazine is shared between partitions, the mailslot elements are assigned individ-
ually to partitions.
Wizards guide you through the partition configuration process. The wizards are only accessible from the
remote panel.
• Basic Partition Wizard
You specify the number of partitions and the wizard removes the current partition configuration and
assigns the drives and storage slots as evenly as possible to the partitions. Any extra drives or slots are
assigned to the first partition.
Use the Basic Partition Wizard to configure partitions that will have similar resources or to configure the
number of barcode characters to report to the host application and whether to report them from the left or
right end of the label for a library with a single partition. Moreover, you can enable or disable the drive
auto cleaning function.
