Chapter 4 Configuring Your Library

Working With Partitions

Scalar i6000 User’s Guide 119

The method you should choose depends on the circumstance and the level

of control you want in allocating resources to the partition. In Automatic

mode, the library assigns available system resources to create the number

of partitions you specify. Automatic mode is not available if a partition

already exists. Manual mode enables you to pick specific drives, storage

magazines, and magazines within an I/E station to assign to a partition.

Make sure that you have adequately planned for

the number of partitions that you want to

configure.

Creating Partitions With the Setup Wizard 4

If you are performing an initial configuration of your library, you can use

the Setup Wizard to automatically create partitions using the available

system resources. Using the Setup Wizard is part of the normal

installation procedure for a library without I/O blades.

You should run the Setup Wizard only when you

initially configure the library.

At all other times, create partitions by using the

Partitions command from the Setup menu.
