Partition wizards
The library has a flexible partitioning scheme with a few key constraints:
•
Each partition must have at least one tape drive. One drive in each partition will host the library LUN
for the partition.
•
The maximum number of partitions is 21.
•
Magazine slots are allocated in five-slot groups in most library modules. Slots allocated from the
bottom module in the library are allocated in four-slot groups.
•
Mailslots must be enabled for a module before they can be allocated to a partition.
A partition does not need to have a mailslot. If a partition does not have a mailslot, the magazine must
be accessed to import or export cartridges. Opening a magazine takes the library off line.
Although the mailslot magazine is shared between partitions, the mailslot elements are assigned
individually to partitions.
Wizards guide you through the partition configuration process. The wizards are only accessible from the
RMI.
•
Basic Partition Wizard—You specify the number of partitions and the wizard removes the current
partition configuration and assigns the drives and storage slots as evenly as possible to the partitions.
Any extra drives or slots are assigned to the first partition.
Use the Basic Partition Wizard to configure partitions that will have similar resources or to configure
the number of barcode characters to report to the host application and whether to report them from the
left or right end of the label for a library with a single partition.
•
Expert Partition Wizard—You add or remove partitions from the current partitions configuration and
then edit each partition configuration to add or remove library resources.
