StorageLibrary T40+ Series Installation and User Guide

The user will also be asked to select which available magazines are to be included in the partition.
Depending on the selections for I/E and cleaning slots, the number of slots for some magazines may
be affected.
Based on the input for I/E and cleaning, the wizard displays the number of slots associated with each
magazine so that the information is visible to the operator.
For each partition, the user is asked to verify, or change, the SCSI ID and Control Path, to specify
whether he wants Auto Clean enabled or disabled, and to specify the Barcode Reporting mode (6
characters or 13 characters).
If there is at least one unassigned drive and one unassigned magazine, the wizard asks if the user
wants to configure another partition. If yes, then repeat the steps for partition setup. If no, the user
receives a warning that there are unassigned resources in the library.
The partitions are configured with the Setup Wizard. If you later want to change your partition
configuration, you can either re-run the Setup Wizard or access the partition configuration screens
directly:
•
From the
RMI
, select
Setup > Partitions
•
From the
FPI
, select
Menu > Setup > Partition
Re-configuring Partitions
You may later need to re-configure your partition setup if the number of cleaning slots or the I/E slot
configuration are changed, or if you need to split the library into a larger og smaller number of
partitions.
Note
Exporting all cartridges already assigned to the partitions is recommended before
you reconfigure your partition.
It is not possible to edit your partition setup. If you choose to re-configure your partition setup from
the front panel interface, the old setup will be deleted.
If you choose to re-configure your partition setup from the remote management interface and your
current partition configuration has used all available resources, you will need to remove at least one
partition. The resources from the deleted partition(s) can then be allocated to the remaining
partition(s).
The appropriate screens to re-configure your partition setup are:
•
From the
RMI
, select
Setup > Partitions
Use the “next” button in the setup to move to the last partition. Use the “remove partition” button to
remove the partition. Remove as many partitions as you want to, and then allocate the
drives/magazines from the deleted partitions to the remaining or new partitions.
•
From the
FPI
, select
Menu > Setup > Partition
Changing Partition Modes
The library has two partition modes, Online and Offline.
Note
When changing the partition mode from online to offline, all host application
commands are completed if they are in progress when the mode is changed.
•
Online — the normal operating condition for the partition. In this mode, the robotics is enabled and
all host application commands are processed.
•
Offline — the partition does not process any host application commands. If a partition is taken
offline, the physical library and other partitions are not affected.
