You can modify partition settings any time after a partition is created. For example, you can modify the name, emulation type, barcode format, and number of assigned tape drives and slots.

Before modifying partitions, verify that all tape drives are unloaded and that all cartridges are in their appropriate storage slot location. For information on unloading tape drives, see Unloading Tape Drives.
