Chapter 4: Configuring the Library
Working With Partitions
54 Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User’s Guide
If you choose to create fewer partitions than the default, but more than
one partition, some resources will not be assigned to a partition.
However, if you choose to create one single partition, all available
resources will be assigned to the one partition.
When the library automatically creates partitions, it assigns the first tape
drive in the partition as the control path. You can change the control
paths at any time. See
Configuring Control Paths on page 67 more
information.
Before automatically creating partitions, verify that all tape drives are
unloaded and that all cartridges are in their appropriate storage slots.
For information on unloading tape drives, see
Unloading Tape Drives on
page 127.
Operator Panel

By default, the library applies the Scalar i40-i80 library emulation
type and Standard media barcode format to each partition. You can
change these settings by modifying the partition after it has been
created (see
Modifying Partitions on page 57).
