CHAPTER 3 - CONFIGURING THE LIBRARY
Add or Edit a Partition
Use the instructions below to create partitions using the Expert Partition Wizard:
1. Click Add to create a new partition or select the partition and click Edit to edit
an existing partition, and then click Next. The General Settings screen displays.
Note: The Add button is only active if there are available resources. If there are no
available resources, either edit a partition to free up resources for a new partition, or
remove a partition.
Figure 35 The General Settings screen.
2. Enter a Partition Name.
3. Use the Barcode Label Length Reported To Host drop-down menu to select the
number of digits on a tape barcode that are reported to your backup software.
This option provides interchange compatibility with libraries with more limited
barcode reading capabilities. The maximum barcode character length is 15 and
the default is 8. This configuration applies to all partitions.
Note: The industry standard length for LTO barcode labels is eight characters. Barcode
labels longer than eight characters might scan incorrectly, particularly if they are not
high quality labels.
