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.
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 or SAS). When you automatically create partitions,
you add to the number of existing partitions. You can create
partitions automatically on either the operator panel or the Web
client. For more information, see
on page 53.
• Manually — An administrative user can create partitions one at a
time. Creating partitions manually gives you more control over
resource allocation. When you manually create partitions, you add
to the number of existing partitions. You can only create partitions
manually on the Web client. For more information, see
