Library partitioning reserves library resources (drives, slots, and CAPs) for the
exclusive use of specified HLI and FC-SCSI hosts. Partitioning is an optional feature
enabled with a hardware activation file (see

Partitioning Guidelines to Maximize Library Performance
Partition storage slots in the largest blocks possible. Cluster cartridges and drives
■
together based on workload. Ensure that each partition has an adequate number of
data cartridges, scratch cartridges, and tape drives to support peak workload.
Avoid partitioning individual drives and storage cells. Individually select and
■
deselect resources only when you need to fine-tune a partition that has already
been broadly defined in larger blocks.
Install enough CAPs to provide at least one CAP for each partition. This allows
■
each partition to contain a dedicated CAP.
For quicker enter and ejects, partition storage cells close to the CAPs. For quicker
■
access to stored data, partition storage cells close to the drives.
