Reconfigure Partitions; Changing Partition Modes - TANDBERG STORAGELIBRARY Manual

The wizard displays the number of slots associated with each magazine based on the input for I/E
and cleaning so that it is visible to the operator.
For each partition, the user is asked to verify, or change, the SCSI ID and Control Path, to specify
whether he wants Autoclean enabled or disabled, and to specify the Barcode Reporting mode (6
characters or 13 characters).
If there is at least one unassigned drive and one unassigned magazine, the wizard asks if the user
wants to configure another partition. If yes, then repeat the steps for partition setup. If no, the user
gets a warning that there are unassigned resources in the library.
The partitions are configured during the Setup Wizard. If you later want to change your partition
configuration, you can either re-run the Setup Wizard or access the partition configuration screens
directly:
From the remote management interface, select Setup > Partition/Drive
From the front panel, select Setup > Setup Partitions & Drives

Reconfigure Partitions

You may later need to reconfigure your partition setup if the number of cleaning slots or I/E slot
configuration are changed, or if you need to split the library into more or fewer partitions.
Exporting all cartridges assigned to the partitions that are to be reconfigured is
Note
recommended.
It is not possible to edit your partition setup. If you choose to reconfigure your partition setup from the
front panel interface, the old setup will be deleted.
If you choose to reconfigure your partition setup from the remote management interface and your
current partition configuration has used all available resources, you will need to remove at least one
partition. The resources from the deleted partition(s) can then be allocated to the remaining
partition(s).
The appropriate screens to reconfigure your partition setup are:
From the remote management interface, select Setup > Partition/Drive
Use the "next" button in the setup to move to the last partition. Use the "remove partition" button
to remove the partition. Remove as many partitions you want to, and then allocate the
drives/magazines from the deleted partitions to the remaining or new partitions
From the front panel, select Setup > Partition

Changing Partition Modes

The library has two partition modes, Online and Off-line.
When changing the partition mode from online to off-line, all host application
Note
commands are completed if they are in progress when the mode is changed.
Online — the normal operating condition for the partition. In this mode, the robotics is enabled
and all host application commands are processed.
Off-line — the partition does not process any host application commands. If a partition is taken
off-line, the physical library and other partitions are not affected.
The library is automatically taken off-line when the unit is busy executing internal time consuming
tasks.
In addition the user can manually take the physical library or any of its partitions online or off-line. You
can take a partition off-line rather than the entire library so as to minimize disruption of library
