Configuring Your Library
See the Dell PowerVault ML6000 Basic SNMP Reference Guide for further configuration and access details.
You cannot enable or disable SNMP authentication traps from the operator panel. The path to open the appropriate screen is
as follows:
From the Web client select Setup > Network Management > SNMP.

Downloading the SNMP MIB

The library supports an SNMP MIB that can be used to integrate the library with commercial SNMP management applications.
The MIB can be queried to obtain the status of the library and many of its individual components. Administrators can
download the SNMP MIB from the library. The MIB can then be installed on an SNMP external management application.
For more information about the library MIB, see the Dell PowerVault ML6000 Basic SNMP Reference Guide or contact Dell
Technical Support (see
your network management application vendor.
You cannot download the SNMP MIB from the operator panel. The path to open the appropriate screen is as follows:
• From the Web client select Tools > Download SNMP MIB.

Working With 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. The library must contain at least one
unassigned tape drive and slot to create a partition.
The Setup Wizard: Partitioning screens allow administrators to select the number of new library partitions to create.
At any time after the initial configuration of the library, administrators can create, modify, and delete partitions by selecting
Setup > Partitions on the Web client, or create and delete partitions by selecting Setup > Partition Mgmt on the operator
panel.
There are two ways to create partitions:
• Automatically — Library resources are assigned proportionately among the partitions. Tape drives are grouped
according to their interface type (FC, SCSI, or SAS) and tape drive media type (for example, LTO-3, LTO-4, or LTO-5).
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.
• Manually — An administrator can create partitions one at a time. 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.
possible number of partitions that can be created for each of the available library configurations.
