the number of slots allowed by your host software. To modify the
number of active slots in your library, click on the drop down list and
select the number of slots you want active in your library. Also, the Auto
Clean function requires the cleaning cartridge to be in a DCS or reserved

Configure Library: Logical Libraries
To partition your multi-drive library, select the number of logical libraries you
would like to create in your library, then click Submit.
One cartridge magazine cannot be assigned to two logical libraries. If you partition
a multi-drive library, each of the magazines must be assigned to a logical library
on a magazine boundary. The entire magazine must be part of one logical library
only. In a fully populated 4U library with four logical libraries, resource
assignments will be as follows:
v Logical Library 1 will contain Drive 1 and the lower left cartridge magazines.
v Logical Library 2 will contain Drive 2 and the upper left cartridge magazines.
v Logical Library 3 will contain Drive 3 and the lower right cartridge magazine.
v Logical Library 4 will contain Drive 4 and the upper right cartridge magazine.
The I/O Station and the reserved slot (or dedicated cleaning slot (DCS) if one is
assigned) are shared among all logical libraries.
