    Working With Partitions The Setup Wizard: Partitioning screens allow administrative users to select the number of new library partitions to create. Partitions are virtual sections within a library that present the appearance of multiple, separate libraries for purposes of file management, access by multiple users, or dedication to one or more host applications. The library must contain at least one unassigned tape drive and slot to create a partition.

  • Page 47: Automatically Creating Partitions

    The library does not support mixing FC and SCSI tape drives in one partition. If your library contains both FC and SCSI tape drives, you need to create more than one partition so that you can assign the FC and SCSI tape drives to different partitions.
