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 > Configure. The Partitions dialog box
appears.
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 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
use. Table 26 describes how to set up different types of control paths.
Note: Only IBM and HP LTO-5 or later 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.
