You can create library partitions in three ways:
• Creating Partitions Automatically
• Creating Partitions Manually
following modes:
• Using Simple Mode
• Using Expert Mode
The method you should choose depends on the circumstance and the
level of control you want in allocating resources to the partition. When
creating partitions Automatically, the library assigns available system
resources to create the number of partitions you specify. Automatic
mode is not available if a partition already exists. Creating partitions
Manually enables you to pick specific drives, storage magazines, and
magazines within an I/E station to assign to a partition.
Note: Make sure that you have adequately planned for the number of
partitions that you want to configure.
