Modifying Partitions

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

The library automatically takes the partition offline before modifying it and places it back online after it has been modified.

Before deleting a tape drive from a partition, verify that it is unloaded. For information on unloading tape drives, see Unloading Tape Drives.
