Partitions are virtual sections within a library that present the
appearance of multiple, separate libraries for purposes of file
management, access by multiple users, or dedication to one or more
host applications.
Organizing the library into partitions divides the resources into virtual
sections. If one of the resources is not available due to a failure or other
cause, the other partitions and their assigned components are still
available. Partitions can also be used to control access to portions of the
library by granting permissions to user accounts to access certain
partitions (see Privilege Levels
Accounts on the Web Client
For more information on partitions, see
page 49.
The control path tape drive is used to connect a partition to a host
application. Only one tape drive can be selected as the control path at
one time. By default, the first tape drive assigned to a partition is
designated as the control path. In the event that the control path
connection to the host application fails, you can select a new control
path for the partition. See
Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 tape libraries support WORM (write once, read
many) technology. WORM allows non-rewriteable and non-erasable
data to be written and provides extra data security by prohibiting
accidental data erasure. The WORM feature is supported whenever you
use WORM cartridges.
