Commit Partition Configuration Changes
Caution – This procedure updates the library controller database with all partition
configuration changes you have made during this SL Console session. Failure to use
this procedure before logging out of the current SL Console session will cause all your
library configuration changes to be lost.
Caution – For the following reasons, it is recommended that you make the library
unavailable to other users before committing your partition workspace changes.
There is no real-time validation of partition boundaries against the library controller
database; therefore if you do not make the library unavailable and other users are
performing cartridge movements or library configuration changes, configuration
conflicts may arise. See “Synchronizing the Display With the Controller Database” on
page 31 for details.
The library temporarily drops all connections to HSC or ACSLS hosts when partition
configurations changes are committed. The hosts will automatically reconnect, but
multiple error messages will be displayed, and cartridge management tasks in progress
may fail.
Note – It is recommended that you follow the Resolve Orphaned Cartridges procedure
before performing this procedure.
1. Vary the library offline to ACSLS and HSC.
See the appropriate tape management software documentation for the procedures and
commands.
2. Select Tools > Partitions, and click the Commit (Step 4) tab.
The Commit (Step 4) screen appears.
3. In the Options Bar, click Apply.
The boundaries of the selected partition are verified, including the locations of all tape
cartridges.
