Creating Partitions Manually 4
If one or more partitions already exist in the library, you must manually
create a new partition to allocate drives, storage slots, and I/E station
magazines. You have two options to allocate system resources when
manually creating a new partition: Simple and Expert modes.
In Simple mode, you can specify the quantity of each element you want
assigned to the partition. In Expert mode, you can indicate which specific
drives, storage magazines, I/E station magazines, or if enabled, extended
I/E station magazines to assign to the partition.
