The RLS can have multiple physical partitions, which allows separate hosts and thus
separate host applications to have fully separate sub-libraries under their e
control. A partition must have one or more drive slots, and one or more cartridge slots
assigned. Thus, the maximum number of partitions is a function of the resources
assigned to the various partitions, up to the total number of drive slots and the
number of cartridge slots in the Library. Note that a drive slot can be assigned but is
not active unless a drive is installed. Drives, drive slots, and cartridge slots cannot b
shared between partitions.
An individual I/O port slot can only be assigned to one partition. A unit with two (2)
I/O ports doubles the number of I/O port slots that can be assigned to partitions. As
with drives, drive slots, and cartridge slots, I/O port slots that are assigned to one
partition may not be shared with a different partition.
Multiple hosts can communicate with the same partition, via the same physical port
and LUN. Should a host need a separ
