Modifying Partitions 4
You can use the Modify process to change the allocation of drives and
storage magazines in existing partitions without having to delete the
entire partition and then recreate it. You also can use Modify to change
partition properties and partition settings.
Before you modify any partitions, understand the configuration changes
you plan to make and the potentially disruptive effects that those changes
could have on the host application(s). Be careful whenever you add or
delete partition elements that include drives, storage magazines, and I/E
station magazines.
For best results, follow these guidelines when adding or deleting partition
elements:
• Shut down the host application.
• Update the inventory in the library.
• Reconfigure the library in the application.
• Update the inventory in the application.
Note
After you click Create, the Cancel button becomes
unavailable.
CAUTION
Modifying partitions improperly, particularly
when deleting partition elements, can disrupt
host applications.
