Modifying Partitions

Scalar i2000 User's Guide
You can use the Modify process to change the allocation of drives and
4 storage magazines in existing partitions without having to delete the
entire partition and then recreate it. You also can use Modify to change
partition properties and partition settings.
CAUTION
Before you modify any partitions, understand the configuration changes
you plan to make and the potentially disruptive effects that those changes
could have on the host application(s). Be careful whenever you add or
delete partition elements that include drives, storage magazines, and I/E
station magazines.
For best results, follow these guidelines when adding or deleting partition
elements:
• Shut down the host application.
• Update the inventory in the library.
• Reconfigure the library in the application.
• Update the inventory in the application.
Note
To modify an existing partition, perform the following steps:
1 Log on as an administrator.
2 Make sure that you are viewing the physical library. From the View
menu, click the name of the physical library.
3 Click Setup→ Partitions.
The Partitions dialog box appears.
Modifying partitions improperly, particularly
when deleting partition elements, can disrupt
host applications.
This procedure includes instructions for
downloading new drive firmware images. You can
modify partitions from either the library's touch
screen or a remote client. However, if you want to
download drive firmware images, you must do so
from a remote client.
