Configuring the DX-Series System
Adding a Partition
0
Partitioning provides the capability to divide the DX-Series virtual tape drives
and storage elements into separate partitions, usable by separate host
computers on the same network. The
Partitions
page contains a list of
unassigned tape drives and cartridges as well as all user defined partitions
currently configured on the system. This page also contains the ability to add,
edit, and delete partitions.
At least one partition must be created on the DX-Series system. Up to eight
partitions can be added to a DX30 system and up to thirty two partitions can
be added to a DX100 system.
To add a partition:
1
Turn the DX-Series system offline from the
Utilities
page prior to adding a
partition.

Caution:
Ensure that your backup package is properly configured for

system partition. Failure to do so may cause your backup
application to malfunction or cease to operate.
Note:
To add, edit, or delete a partition, the system must be offline.
