When initiating a cleaning operation, the library will use an unexpired cleaning cartridge from the same
partition as the tape drive. If the partition does not contain an unexpired cleaning cartridge, the library
will use an unexpired cleaning cartridge from an unpartitioned area of the library. The library will not
use a cleaning cartridge from a different partition. When enabling auto cleaning, ensure that either
each partition has an unexpired cleaning cartridge or place at least one unexpired cleaning cartridge in
an area that is not assigned to a partition.
NOTE:
The cleaning cartridge label must begin with the letters "CLN" for the library to recognize it as a
cleaning cartridge.
The same LTO Ultrium cleaning cartridges are used for all LTO tape drives. The library does not limit
movement of a cleaning cartridge based on the LTO generation in the bar code media identifier and
will allow moves of cleaning cartridges to any generation tape drive.
All Hewlett Packard Enterprise labels for cleaning cartridges end with "L1" media identifier characters.
7. Click Next.
8. The Finish Configuration screen displays the proposed allocation of library resources into partitions.
a. To update the configuration, click Back.
b. To have the wizard configure partition as shown, click Finish.
After the wizard reconfigures the partition, the library will come on line automatically.
c. To exit the wizard, click Cancel or Exit.
TIP:
You can use the Expert Partition Wizard to adjust the allocation of resources after creating the
partitions with the Basic Partition Wizard.
Using the expert partition wizard
When Data Verification is enabled from Command View TL, Command View TL creates a partition called
"DVP" on the library, which is used to import media into the library for Data Verification. Hewlett Packard
Enterprise recommends only deleting or modifying the DVP partition from the Command View TL user
interface rather than from the library RMI. Do not name a partition "DVP" because this name is reserved
for Command View TL.
CAUTION:
The library will go off line while partitions are being configured. Ensure that all host operations are
idle before running a partition wizard.
NOTE:
If you want to enable or disable the mailslots, Cancel out of the wizard and update the mailslot
configuration before configuring partitioning.
NOTE:
Failover features are licensed and can only be enabled when a valid license has been added to the
library. If you want to enable these features and have not added the license to the library, Cancel out of
the wizard and add the license to the library before configuring partitioning.
