There are two ways to create partitions:
• Library resources are assigned proportionately
Automatically —
among the partitions. Tape drives are grouped according to their
interface type (FC, SCSI, or SAS) and tape drive vendor. You can
create partitions automatically on either the operator panel or the
web client. When you automatically create partitions, you add to the
number of existing partitions.
An administrative user can create partitions one at a time.
•
Manually —
Creating partitions manually gives you more control over resource
allocation. You can, for example, assign different tape drive types to
the same partition. You can create partitions manually only on the
web client. When you manually create partitions, you add to the
number of existing partitions.
The maximum number of partitions that can be created is equal to the
number of drives in the library.
