Note:
Quantum recommends that the device configuration be set
to
ATL P1000
unless your specific backup application
supports the DX-Series inquiry strings. If your backup
application does support DX30 and DX100, you should
select that setting for improved performance.
Note:
If all tape drives are assigned to other partitions, you must
unassign one or more tape drives to make them available
for a new partition. Be aware that in a DX30, all tape drives
are assigned to the Default partition at the time of
installation.
Note:
If all tape cartridges are assigned to other partitions, you
must unassign one or more tape cartridges to make them
available for a new partition. Be aware that all cartridges
that were created at the time of installation (see
Creating
Cartridges
on page 120) are assigned to the Default
partition.
