What is a partition? 1A partition is an abstraction of a single underlying
physical library that presents the appearance of multiple, separate
libraries for purposes of file management, access by multiple users, or
dedication to one or more host applications. It is a collection of real
physical elements, combined to create a grouping that is different from
the physical library, and is often dedicated to a single host application.
For example, you can choose to run one software application in one
partition, and a different software application in a second partition. For a
more information, see
Working With Partitions on page 112. To learn
how to create a partition, see
Creating Partitions on page 118.
