Library Features
This section describes several features of Scalar i500 libraries.
User Interface
1
The operator panel is located on the front door of the control module and
allows you to work locally on the library via the user interface. The web
client allows you to view and perform library functions from remote sites
and is accessible through a browser. The operator panel and web client
contain a similar user interface and functionality.
See
Chapter 2, Understanding the User Interface
for more information
about the operator panel and the web client.
Partitions
1
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.
Organizing the library into partitions divides the resources into virtual
sections. If one of the resources is not available due to a failure or other
cause, the other partitions and their assigned components are still
available. Partitions can also be used to control access to portions of the
library by granting permissions to user accounts to access certain
partitions.
For more information on partitions, see
Working With Partitions
on
page 61.
Note:
Tape drive filler plates must be in place for the library to
operate at normal speed.
