4 Click the partition you want to delete.

Note: You can delete only one partition at a time.

5 Click Delete.

Note: If the physical library is not offline, you receive a message

that asks you whether you want to take the library offline

and delete the partition. Click Yes. If the partition is already

offline, you receive a message that asks you whether you

want to delete the partition. Click Yes.

6 The library deletes the selected partition. Repeat the process to

delete another partition, or click Close.

You must define a control path for each library partition. The control

path is used to connect a partition to a host application. The

Scalar i2000/i6000 does not automatically assign a control path when

you create a partition. Each partition control path can occur through

one of several different physical connection points depending on the

hardware configuration of your library.

The procedure for setting up and defining the control path for a

partition depends on which physical connection point you choose to

describes how to set up different types of control paths.

Note: Only HP LTO-5 or LTO-6 drives can be configured for control

path bridging (using a drive as the control path for a partition),

and in order to do so, they must be connected to an Ethernet

Expansion blade.

Note: Only HP LTO-5 or LTO-6 drives with SNW licenses can be

configured for control path failover.
