When you manually create partitions, the library creates control paths.
See

default control paths and how to change them.
When creating partitions manually, you need to provide the following
information:
•
Emulation Type
— the type of library that the partition is emulating:
• ADIC Scalar i500 (default)
• Quantum Scalar i500
• Quantum Scalar i2000
• ADIC Scalar i2000
• ADIC Scalar 100
• ADIC Scalar 24
•
Partition Name
— limited to a maximum of 12 lower-case
alphanumeric characters and underscores (_)
•
Media Barcode Format
— defaults to Standard. The available options
are as follows:
•
Standard Six
— Six character barcode number with or without a
one or two-character media ID, for example, “XXXXXXL4” or
“XXXXXX”. Only the six character barcode is reported to the
host.
•
Plus Six
— Six character barcode number followed by a media ID,
for example, “XXXXXXL3”. Six character barcode and media ID
are reported to the host.
•
Extended
— Five to 16 characters total, including a barcode
number and optional media ID. All characters are reported to the
host, regardless of having a media ID or not. If a media ID is
included, the label must have a five to 14 character barcode
followed by a media ID, for example, “XXXXXXXXXXXXXXL2”.
If a media ID is not included, the label must have a five to 16
character barcode, for example, “XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX”.
•

media ID, for example, “XXXXXXXXXXXXXXLT”. The media ID
is reported to the host last.
