Library Features
This section describes several features of PowerVault ML6000 libraries.
User Interface
The operator panel is located on the front door of the 5U Library Control Module and allows you to work locally on the library
via the user interface. The Web client allows you to view and perform library functions from remote sites and is accessible
through a browser. The operator panel and Web client contain a similar user interface and functionality.

Understanding the User Interface
Partitions
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.
Organizing the library into partitions divides the resources into virtual sections. Partitions can be used to control access to
portions of the library by granting permissions to user accounts to access certain partitions.
For more information on partitions, see
Control Path Modification
The control path tape drive is used to connect a partition to a host application. Only one tape drive can be selected as the
control path at one time. For more information, see
Support for WORM
PowerVault ML6000 tape libraries support WORM (write once, read many) technology in LTO-3, LTO-4, and LTO-5 tape drives.
WORM allows non-rewriteable and non-erasable data to be written and provides extra data security by prohibiting accidental
data erasure. The WORM feature is supported whenever you use WORM cartridges.
