Number of Slots

— The number of storage slots allocated to the new

partition.

You cannot create partitions manually from the operator panel. The path

to open the appropriate screen is:

• From the Web client, select

Setup > Partitions

.

Modifying Partitions

Using the Web client, administrators can modify partition settings any

time after the partition is created.
The tape drive set as the control path for a particular partition cannot be

deleted from that partition. The check box associated with the control

path is grayed out. For more information on setting the control path, see

Working With Control Paths

on page 86.

The library automatically takes the partition offline before modifying it

and places the partition back online after it is modified.

Note:

Before creating partitions, verify that all tape drives are

unloaded. For information on unloading tape drives, see

Unloading Tape Drives

on page 175.

Note:

Creating Partitions operations cannot be performed

concurrently by multiple administrators logged in from

different locations. You can access the screen, but you cannot

apply changes while another administrator is performing the

same operation.

Note:

If the operation does not complete successfully, the partition

remains offline until you turn it back online manually or

restart the library (see

Taking a Partition Online or Offline

on

page 78).
