Chapter 5 Configuring Your Library

Working With Partitions

Dell PowerVault ML6000 User’s Guide 71

Working With Partitions

Partitions are virtual sections within a library that present the appearance

of multiple, separate libraries for purposes of file management, access by

multiple users, or dedication to one or more host applications. The library

must contain at least one unassigned tape drive and slot to create a

partition.

The Setup Wizard: Partitioning screens allow administrators to select the

number of new library partitions to create.

At any time after the initial configuration of the library, administrators

can create, modify, and delete partitions by selecting Setup > Partitions on

the Web client, or create and delete partitions by selecting Setup >

Partition Mgmt

on the operator panel.

There are two ways to create partitions:

• Automatically — Library resources are assigned proportionately

among the partitions. Tape drives are grouped according to their

interface type (SCSI, FC, or SAS) and media generation (LTO-3,

LTO-4, LTO-5, LTO-6). You cannot mix interface type and media

generation in partitions that you create automatically. To create a

partition with mixed interface types and media generations, you

must create the partition manually. You can create partitions

automatically on either the operator panel or the Web client. When

you automatically create partitions, you add to the number of

existing partitions.

• Manually — An administrator creates one partitions at a time and

allocates resources as desired. You can mix tape drive interface types

and media generations in partitions that you create manually. You

can create partitions manually only on the Web client. When you

manually create partitions, you add to the number of existing

partitions.

The maximum number of partitions that can be created is equal to the

number of drives in the library. Table 3 shows the possible number of

partitions that can be created for each of the available library

configurations.
