Use the Create partitions.2 screen to create new partitions.1 within the library.

To manually create partitions.1 one at a time, you must use the webclient.3 Manually creating partitions.1 gives you more control over resource allocation.

Each partition.1 must contain at least one tape drive and one slot. If no unallocated taped drives or slots exist, you must modify or delete partitions.1 to free resources. You can delete partitions using the operator panel. To modify partitions.5 you must use the webclient.3

You can select the number of partitions.1 to create. The default is the number of distinct grouping.2 combinations of the tape drives that are not currently assigned to a partition.1. The default is also the minimum number of partitions.1 you can create automatically. The maximum number of partitions.1 that you can create is equal to the number of tape drives in the library that are not currently assigned to a partition.1.

Note: Before creating partitions.5 verify that all tape drives are unloaded and that all cartridges are in their appropriate storage slot location.
