Configuring Library Partitions
The library has a flexible partitioning scheme with the following restrictions:
•
Each partition must have at least one tape drive. One drive in each partition will host the library LUN
for the partition.
•
The maximum number of partitions is 21
.
•
Magazine slots are allocated in five-slot groups.
•
Mailslots must be enabled for a module before they can be allocated to a partition.
A partition does not need to have a mailslot. If a partition does not have a mailslot, the magazine must
be accessed to import or export cartridges. Opening a magazine takes the library offline.
Although the mailslot magazine is shared between partitions, the mailslot elements are assigned
individually to partitions. The Wizards will guide you through the partition configuration process. The
wizards are only accessible from the RMI.
