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.

There are two ways to create partitions: automatically and manually.

You can modify a partition if you need to change its settings. For example, the partition name, barcode reporting format, and number of assigned tape drives and slots can be modified. For information on modifying partitions, see Modifying Partitions.

When a partition is no longer needed, it can be deleted. For information on deleting partitions, see Deleting Partitions.

Administrators can create, delete, and control access to all library partitions. Users can be given access to only certain partitions and denied access to others. For information on changing partition access for users, see Changing Partition Access.
