Chapter 2 Operating the Library
2.5 Configuring the Library
• Expert Partition Wizard
You add or remove partitions from the current partitions configuration and then edit each partition config-
uration to add or remove library resources.
Use the Expert Partition Wizard to configure partitions that will have different resources or to adjust
resource assignments for existing partitions or those created with the Basic Partition Wizard. Moreover, you
can enable or disable the drive auto cleaning function on each partition.
The library will go off line while partitions are being configured. Ensure that all host operations are idle
before running a partition wizard.
2.5.13.1 Using the Basic Partition Wizard
Procedure
1
Click Configuration > Partition > Basic Wizard to start the wizard.
The Information screen displays the existing partitions, which will be deleted by the wizard.
2
Click Proceed and then click Next.
3
The Create Partition Scheme screen displays the number of slots, mailslots, tape drives, and
maximum available partitions for the library.
If you want to enable or disable the mailslots, Cancel out of the wizard and update the mailslot con-
figuration before configuring partitioning.
4
Select the number of partitions.
5
Select the number of barcode characters reported to the host application.
This option provides interchange compatibility with libraries with more limited barcode reading capa-
bilities. The maximum length is 15 and the default is 8. This configuration will apply to all partitions.
The industry standard length for LTO barcode labels is eight characters. Barcode labels longer than
eight characters might scan incorrectly, particularly if they are not high quality labels.
6
Select whether to report the barcode characters from the left or right end of the barcode
label to the host application when reporting fewer than the maximum number of charac-
ters.
For example, when reporting only six characters of the barcode label 12345678, if alignment is left, the
device will report 123456. If alignment is right, the device will report 345678. The default is left. Click
Next.
7
Click the check box of "Auto Clean" if you enable the drive auto cleaning function.
