What is a partition?
A partition is an abstraction of a single underlying physical library that
presents the appearance of multiple, separate libraries for purposes of
file management, access by multiple users, or dedication to one or more
host applications. It is a collection of real physical elements, combined
to create a grouping that is different from the physical library, and is
often dedicated to a single host application. For example, you can
choose to run one software application in one partition, and a different
software application in a second partition. For a more information, see
Working With Partitions on page 128. To learn how to create a partition,
see Creating Partitions on page 134.
Where can I find the library’s serial number?
The serial number appears in the ID column for the first line of output
on the System Status dialog box ( Monitor ® System ). Use the serial
number when contacting technical support for assistance.
How many characters can be in the barcodes?
For LTO media barcodes, the library dynamically supports 1 to 14
characters for volume serial number plus a two-character media type
identifier. The image below is an example of a supported LTO barcode
label.
What barcode formats are supported?
Cartridges must have an external barcode label that is machine-readable
to identify the volume serial number. A barcode must use only
uppercase letters A to Z and/or numeric values 0 to 9. The library
currently supports Code 39 (3 of 9) type barcode labels.
What do I do if I lose my password?
Contact technical support and they will tell you how to reset the
password. See Getting More Information or Help on page xvii.
What do I do if I lose power during a backup?
If your library contains a redundant power supply, it is unlikely that
power will ever be completely unavailable to the library.
