Partition
4
Enter a library name that identifies the partition so it can be distinguished
from other partitions on the DX-Series system.
5
Select the inquiry identity to determines the inquiry string returned from
the DX-Series system. If you select
ATL P1000
, the DX-Series appears as an
ATL P1000 to the host and backup application. If you select
Quantum
DX30
or
Quantum DX100
, the host and backup application recognize the
device as a
Quantum DX30
or
Quantum DX100
respectively.
6
Select the number of tape drives (emulated DLT7000) available to the host
and backup application in this partition. The Default partition contains 6
tape drives at the time of installation, however, you can change the
number of drives (DX30 up to 30 tape drives; DX100 up to 55 tape drives).
Note:
The partition name is independent of the host name in the
Network
tab (see
Configuring the Network Information
on
page 70).
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.
