Chapter 6 — Configuring and Managing Partitions
Preparation Before making changes to an existing partition, review the
information at the beginning of this chapter to ensure that you address any
requirements (see Partition Types and Requirements on page 161). In
addition, address the following recommendations and requirements:
 Spectra Logic strongly recommends backing up the library
 When reducing the number of chambers assigned to a partition,
By default, the library deletes empty chambers from a partition first. However, if all
Important
chambers are full, the library is forced to delete populated chambers. When this
happens, the magazines in the deleted chambers are no longer accessible through
the BlueScale interface or storage management software. You must add these
chambers to either a new or an existing partition before the magazines are accessible
again.
Auto Configuration Save When you make a change to a partition, the
library generates an auto‐configuration file and saves it to the memory
card in the LCM. If you configured the email option for the Auto
Configuration Save file, an email containing the updated library
configuration, the MLM and DLM databases, and any BlueScale
encryption keys stored in the library, are sent to the specified recipient (see
Enable Email for the Auto Configuration Save File on page 109).
Modify a Partition Use the following steps to modify an existing partition.
1. Log into the library as a user with superuser or administrator
2. Select Maintenance > Media Lifecycle Management to display the

physically export any magazines in those chambers, as described in
Exporting or Exchanging Magazines and Cartridges on page 211, before
you remove chambers from the partition.

unless they are specifically requested for troubleshooting.
